The published report provides the most accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date examination of the participation trends among female Olympic and Paralympic athletes and the hiring trends of Olympic and Paralympic governing bodies with respect to the number of women who hold leadership positions in these organizations. It is intended to provide governing bodies, athletes, and policymakers at the national and international level with new and accurate information with an eye toward making the Olympic and Paralympic movement equitable for all.
Here we provide an evidence-based look at what is known about women’s leadership and participation in the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. This is the sixth report in the series that follows the progress of women in the Olympic and Paralympic movement.
As WSF wraps up our 50th anniversary, we thank you for being part of the movement Billie Jean started—protecting Title IX, expanding access for girls and women in sports, and investing over $100 million to break down barriers.
With your support, we can create a future where all girls and women can play. When they do, they lead—and we all win. Don’t wait until December 31st—make your gift today.
