Research by Sport New Zealand shines a light on the steep drop off in girls' participation in sport and active recreation. By the age of 16, there is a 17% gap between male and female participation and by age 17, the gap is 28%.

Sport New Zealand's Chief Executive Raelene Castle talks to Kathryn about a new campaign to get girls moving.
