DMR x Sale Sharks – International Women’s Day 2025

By: Chorcha Harper

DMR x Sale Sharks – International Women’s Day 2025

This International Women’s Day the theme is ‘Accelerate Action’ for gender equality.

Focusing on the need to Accelerate Action emphasiszes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres.

With this in mind, and as a proud sponsor of the team, we went to the Sale Sharks training ground in Carrington to meet with three members of the Sale Sharks Women’s team to discuss gender equality in sport and how to inspire and raise younger women in the game.
DMR are proud sponsor of Sale Sharks.

Dressed in DMR jewellery for the occasion, read on for the full conversation and find out what the players wore on the day.

Georgie Perris-Redding
Back Row for Sale Sharks Women & USA

Q: In what ways do you think rugby can empower women in general, both on and off the field?

A: I think rugby can empower young girls and women in so many ways. Off the field I’ve learnt so much about resilience and being true to who you are. It is so character building as a sport! I think on the field, I have learnt to embrace my strength and learn things we don’t necessarily teach in schools.

Rugby teaches young women so much on and off the field – I have found it invaluable.

Morwenna Talling
Second Row Back Row for Sale Sharks Women & England

Q: With the upcoming Rugby World Cup heading to England what does this mean to you and future female players around the North West?

A: I think it’s massive to have a home world cup! It’s very exciting to have the facilities all around the country to play from up in Sunderland to down to Brighton and Sandy Park Exeter. Up in the North West we have the Salford community stadium, in the North East we have York and Sunderland.

It’s a great nod to the fact that we can get fans up here, and it allows for the young girls, particularly in the North that might not have access to the PWR and the clubs involved in that to see professional women’s rugby and shine a spotlight on that.

Molly Morrissey
Second Row for Sale Sharks Women

Q: What challenges do female rugby players face?

A: I think you can look at this two ways, the younger and the older generation. For the younger female players it can be quite difficult to find teams and regular game times – it is so important to have supportive family, friends, team members who can help with driving you around and getting you to practice and games.

As you move up through the leagues and become a bit older, you become more independent the challenges are completely different.

A lot of the players on our team have dual careers so they are in work all day and then come to training and that doesn’t impact just your job or your training – it impacts both quite majorly and becomes quite challenging for rest and recovery.
