Governor Little Designates February 2025 as “The War on Women’s Sports is Over” Month
BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — In a recent announcement, Governor Little declared February 2025 as “The War on Women’s Sports is Over” Month. This proclamation reflects a commitment to safeguarding women’s sports and promoting fairness in athletic competitions.
Support from the White House
This declaration follows Governor Little’s visit to the White House last week, where President Trump recognized his efforts by signing an executive order that prohibits boys and men from engaging in sports designated for girls and women. This legislative move marks a significant step in supporting female athletes and fostering an equitable sports environment.
Historical Commitment to Women’s Sports
Governor Little has been a pioneer in advocating for women’s sports, having signed the “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act” back in 2020. Just last year, he reaffirmed his dedication by implementing the “Defending Women’s Sports Act” through an executive order.
A Proud Legacy of Protection
“Idaho takes pride in being the first state to ban boys and men from competing against girls and women in organized athletics,” stated Governor Little. “Our commitment has inspired numerous other states to follow our lead, and now with President Trump’s executive order, we can see the federal government standing up for female athletes across the nation.”
This proclamation and the ongoing legislative efforts signify an important chapter in the battle for women’s rights in sports, illuminating a path toward a more equitable future for female athletes everywhere.
