From the days when women were discouraged from participating in sports to becoming global icons of athleticism and resilience, the history of women in sports is nothing short of inspiring. This timeline by the Los Angeles Times is a powerful tribute to the achievements, challenges, and milestones that have shaped the journey of women in athletics. 🏅💪 From pioneers like Babe Didrikson Zaharias to modern legends like Serena Williams, these stories highlight the indomitable spirit of women who defied societal norms, shattered records, and opened doors for future generations. In a world still striving for gender equality, this history reminds us of the progress we've made—and the work that lies ahead. Let's celebrate these achievements and continue championing inclusion and diversity in sports! 🏀⚽🏃♀️ Check out the full timeline here: https://lnkd.in/dKfad4jZ ✨ Who inspires you the most in the world of sports?

🔗 "𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁" - A powerful document from the European Commission, detailing recommendations and an action plan created by the High-Level Group on Gender Equality in Sport. 💡 Key Takeaways: • Gender mainstreaming and intersectionality are essential in every policy, ensuring inclusivity. • Participation, leadership, coaching, and media representation of women in sport must improve. • 14% of top decision-making positions in EU sports federations are held by women. We must work together to change this. It’s time to implement gender budgeting and empower men as allies to create lasting change. 🏆 The journey to true gender equality in sport is a team effort. It's about creating equal opportunities for everyone, from grassroots to elite levels. 👉 Join the movement. Let’s break the barriers, tackle gender stereotypes, and push for 50/50 representation in all aspects of sports.

At the FOGES Round Table in Gandia (Spain) organized by 𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗘𝗻𝗿𝗶́𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘇 and Cámara de Comercio Italiana Barcelona (CCIB), held on June 26, 2024, experts from across the sports sector came together to discuss the pressing issue of gender equality. The conversation highlighted both progress and ongoing challenges, such as wage disparities and stereotypes in sports. Leaders emphasized the importance of role models and targeted education as tools for change, acknowledging that early interventions could help break down gender barriers in sports. This event underscored that while there have been positive steps, such as quotas for female representation in sport clubs, much work remains. As we continue to foster collaborative solutions through initiatives like FOGES, we are determined to push for true equality in the sports world, ensuring opportunities for all athletes. #FOGES #gender #erasmus #equality #inclusion #sport

61.9% of women in the Netherlands spend at least 2.5 hours to sports activity during the week, the highest percentage in the European ranking. Spain reaches almost 33% while Italy is only in 21st place with 18.8%. These are just some of the data emerged during the first local round table of the FOGES project, dedicated to Italian stakeholders and held on 10 July. The objective of the meeting was to identify the main topics and best methodologies to promote gender equality in the educational programmes of sports systems, in order to better respond to the needs of the target audience. The event was moderated by mara ghidorzi, Training Designer of Fondazione Libellula, and attended by CONI Vice-President, Claudia Giordani; the Equal Opportunities Councilwoman of the Municipality of Milan, Barbara Peres; the Chairwoman of the Equal Opportunities and Civil Rights Commission of the Municipality of Milan, Diana De Marchi; coaches, trainers and representatives of the nonprofit sector. #FOGES #gender #erasmus #equality #inclusion #sport

The world's spotlight is on Paris... What better time to reflect on 5 Olympic news stories that closely affect us? 1) It will be the first Games with an equal gender distribution among participants: 50% male athletes and 50% female athletes. In Tokyo 2021, female athletes were 48.8%. However, equal participation is not the same as equity. 2) These Olympics will welcome the first nursery school in history, thanks to Allyson Felix, a champion athlete retired in 2022. 3) 70 French institutions have pledged to dedicate sports facilities to outstanding female athletes. In France, only 1% has a woman's name on it. What about us? 4) The Olympic Committee has released Guidelines for Fair, Equitable and Inclusive Gender Representation for the media (and not only). 5) Men will be allowed to compete in team synchronised swimming for the first time. FOGES (Fostering Gender Education for Sports Staff) is the Project co-funded by the European Union coordinated by Fondazione Libellula and in partnership with Cámara de Comercio Italiana Barcelona (CCIB) and IES María Enriquez. #FOGES #gender #erasmus #equality #inclusion #sport
