Abstract
The IOC has made women’s participation in sporting activities and the Olympic Games – and by implication in administrative and sports authorities – one of its major concerns. At the same time, in 1994, the Olympic Charter was amended and now contains an explicit section on the need to work in this direction: (The IOC) “strongly encourages, by appropriate means, the promotion of women in sport at all levels and in all structures, particularly in the executive bodies of national and international sports organizations with a view to the strict application of the principle of equality of men and women” (Rule 2, paragraph 5). Introduction The IOC has made women’s participation in sporting activities and the Olympic Games – and by implication in administrative and sports authorities – one of its major concerns. The possibility of practising a sport is a right that we acquire at birth. The practice of sport teaches respect for rules, tolerance, solidarity, contributes to developing the body and the spirit and gives joy, pride and well-being. The IOC also considers sport to be an important means of communication and emancipation, which can contribute to developing the physical and psychological wellbeing. Through sport, women and young girls can become aware of their role in society.
