🏳️‍🌈 PROTECTING WOMEN IN SPORTS
Riley Gaines, a former competitive swimmer, is committed to preserving women's sports and single-sex spaces by advocating for the exclusion of biological male competitors. She directs the Riley Gaines Center at the Leadership Institute, serves as an ambassador for independent women's voices, and hosts the podcast Gaines for Girls with Riley Gaines on https://www.outkick.com/

Riley Gaines is a leader in defending women's single-sex spaces, advocating for equality and fairness, and fighting for women's safety, privacy and equal opportunity.

Gaines graduated from the University of Kentucky, where she was a 12-time All-American swimmer.

Riley has made waves for speaking out after UPenn's Lia Thomas, a biological male swimmer on the women's team, competed in the 2022 NCAA Division 1 Women's Swimming & Diving Championships.

Having directly experienced competing against a man in women's sports, being forced to undress without warning or consent in front of the fully intact male, and being discriminated against by the NCAA, Riley became one of the most powerful voices speaking out against injustice and challenging the rules of the NCAA, USA Swimming, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and other governing bodies.

Riley now works for the leading women's organization creating real and lasting change, legally defining 'woman', protecting Title IX and defending women's rights to single-sex spaces and equal opportunities. She has traveled the country speaking and testifying before the US Senate, House of Representatives and countless state legislatures.
