"Many of the world’s best athletes are women. And many of the world’s sporting records are held by women. But due to human bias, our search engines have learnt to prioritise sportsmen in our search results, even when the facts put sportswomen first."

This is a great project and something I can easily do while sitting and watching TV! #correcttheinternet #womeninsport #womeninsports

H/T to the excellent #InvisibleWomen newsletter for the pointer

Search ‘Who has won the most Rugby World Cups?’ The facts say the Black Ferns.

The internet says the All Blacks. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is just one of many incorrect search results out there.

As an avid follower of women’s sports I find this an incredibly powerful campaign. #woso #tennis #womenssports #correcttheinternet #AI

If you ask Google "most goals in world cup" the answer is Miroslav Klose with 16, when in fact it's Marta with 17.
You can help change these search results with #correcttheinternet, a great project to make sportswomen more visible:

Love this. Women don’t need to rewrite history. They have already done amazing things. We just need herstory to be recorded and celebrated.

History must be written with female athletes in it 🤔

So often women’s sporting achievements are minimised due to incorrect information sharing 😬

This campaign is nothing short of AMAZING 👏🏼

I know I’ll #CorrectTheInternet will you?
