Riley Gaines is a nationally recognized champion in defending women's rights.  She is a leader

in defending women’s single-sex spaces; advocating for equality and fairness; and standing up

for women’s safety, privacy, and equal opportunities.

A graduate of the University of Kentucky, where she became a twelve-time All-American

swimmer, Riley tied UPenn's Lia Thomas -- a male swimmer on their women's team -- at the

2022 NCAA Division 1 Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships.

After her direct experiences competing against a man in women’s sports, being forced without

warning or consent to undress before a fully intact male, and being subjected to discrimination

by the NCAA, Riley became one of the most powerful voices to speak out against radical gender

ideology robbing young women of opportunities, and stand up for truth and common sense. She

is challenging the rules of the NCAA, USA Swimming, International Olympic Committee (IOC),

and other governing bodies.

Riley now serves as the director of the Riley Gaines Center at the Leadership Institute, an

ambassador for Independent Women’s Voice, and the host of the podcast, “Gaines for Girls.
