Gender balance in global sport report

Women on Boards (2014). Gender balance in global sport report. London: Women on Boards.

The 'Gender Balance in Global Sport Report' is authored by Women on Boards and delivers a baseline dataset on the participation of women on sports governing bodies in the lead up to the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Gendered datasets in the report cover more than 600 bodies, including 128 national Olympic committees (NOCs), 54 Commonwealth Games Associations, 30 Paralympic committees for Commonwealth and Olympic sports and 34 international sports federations. This report shows that women remain under-represented on the majority of sporting boards at international and national levels. There are few National Olympic or Commonwealth organising committees or sports federations where more than 30 per cent of board members are female, and the average is closer to, or below, 20 per cent. This is despite increasing levels of performance by females in all sporting arenas and the huge role sport plays in the economies and culture of many nations.
