Description
Gender equality is one of the priorities of the European Union (EU). The EU has committed to promoting gender equality in all areas, including in sport and recognizes that promoting gender equality in sports is important for ensuring that everyone has equal access to opportunities and resources, regardless of their gender. The lack of gender diversity in sports leadership can have negative impacts on gender equality in sports, as it can lead to policies and decisions that favour men over women, as well as perpetuate gender stereotypes and discrimination.
The project Gender Equality (GE FORCE) aims to empower sport organizations to balance gender representation in their leadership positions. The project delivers three main objectives such as research on gender equality at the leadership level of sport organizations, development of an online educational program on how to enhance gender representation and an online consultancy system that can be used as a self-evaluation tool within the sport sector.
