NRF Gender Equity Charter

Auckland United FC is proud to be one of the first clubs to sign the NRF Gender Equity Charter in July 2023, a key step to a more inclusive club.

The Charter emerged from a working group that focused on how we can make the most of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 opportunity to create a lasting legacy not only in infrastructure, but in more opportunities for women and girls in our club. We’re partnering with Northern Region Football to commit to making our club more inclusive in a sustainable and diverse way.

There’s plenty of work to do - this process helps measure what’s going well, what needs work and the steps we need to take to get there.

The Charter work focuses on these areas: 

  • Leadership - Leadership and governance that reflects and supports gender equity

  • Participation - Equitable participation and development opportunities, including juniors and youth girls-only football

  • Visibility - Make girls and women visible, showing their value in our club

  • Resources - Equitable resources and opportunities for girls and women

  • Facilities - Fit for purpose facilities that meet the specific needs of girls and women in our club

Our Board is extremely proud and excited about what’s ahead and we encourage our members to get involved. If you want to learn more, you can check out the Charter here.

If you have any questions or would like to get in touch, please email AUFC Women and Girls Chair Rachel Alley or one of our Board members.

Gender Equity Survey

As part of the Gender Equity Charter, NRF is providing a survey for our AUFC members that looks into the current club culture and experience, specifically as it relates to girls and women in football. 

We would like you to tell us about your experiences with  us and our club culture, focused on girls and women in football. And we want to hear from everyone, not just girls and women.

We’re undertaking this work in partnership with Northern Region Football, with survey analysis to be undertaken by Aktive - Auckland Sport & Recreation.  Your privacy is important to us, and this survey is anonymous. Raw data will only be seen by Aktive and NRF analysts, and will be stored on secure servers.  

Thanks in advance for taking this survey - it’s really quick and your views are crucial for creating an AUFC Gender Equity Action Plan.
