Voiceover Script

This is the script we used to create our voiceover.

Many of the women seen in boxing today were unable to pursue the sport from a young age (pause). Either due to a (emphasise) serious lack of opportunities, or the fact that it was actually illegal for women to box until 1996 and the ABA didn’t sanction its first competition for women until 1997.

Society has typically viewed boxing as a (emphasise) purely masculine sport. This has made many people, including females uncomfortable with seeing women box.

There has been a nationwide movement to get women involved in sport. Campaigns like ‘This Girl Can’ have been created to try to inspire and take the fear away from women being involved in sport.
