Dear Spanish speaking friends
and colleagues,
The WomenSportInternational mission is to develop sport for women
around the globe through the application of research, education
and advocacy. We publish such material on our website as often as
we can. In the future, we will publish materials in Spanish when
we are able. We hope this will be a helpful step to our Spanish-speaking
members and visitors.
Thanks for all you do, Carole Oglesby. Link

Women's Sport on the Web
A good place to start for an overview of the variety of women's
sports sites is the WWW
Women's Sports Pages which contains many links organized by
sport.
Unfortunately, there are very few sites dealing with issues in
women's sports although the US-based Feminist Majority Foundation
provides an Internet gateway to Women
and Girls in Sports containing a list of Internet resources
pertaining to women's sports. They have also made available their
publication The
Feminist Majority Foundation's Empowering Women in Sports Report
which documents from an American perspective the continuing inequity
and sex discrimination prevalent in the field of sports.
The International Olympic Committee has recently updated their
site, and it contains a good section on Women
in the Olympic Movement. It has informative sub-sections on:
- the evolution of women's participation in sport
- women in the administrative structures of the Olympic movement
- IOC women and sport working group
- regional information, seminars and world conferences on women
in sport
- cooperation with other sport organizations
