Toolkit for a sports ecosystem with a gender perspective

Sport has the power to inspire, unite and transform lives. It is a universal language that transcends borders and cultures and, when harnessed with intention, it can be a powerful driver of gender equality and social inclusion. Yet, around the world, women and girls continue to face unequal access to opportunities in and through sport – as athletes, coaches, leaders and decision-makers.

At the intersection of gender equality and the global sports movement lies a unique opportunity to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 5 on gender equality. The UN Women International Olympic Committee (IOC) Bridging Project was launched to harness this potential by strengthening institutional
frameworks and creating inclusive, equitable environments that empower women and girls in and through sport.

Developed through a collaborative process between UN Women and the IOC, this toolkit – “A Sports Ecosystem with a Gender Perspective” – builds on the foundational work of the Guidelines for Gender-Responsive Sports Organizations and aligns with the principles of the Sports for Generation Equality Framework and Olympic Agenda 2020+5. It is a practical resource designed to support sports organisations, institutions and stakeholders in embedding gender equality across all levels of sport. It reflects a shared commitment to advancing gender equality in and through sport, and to ensuring that sports environments are inclusive, safe and empowering for all.

This toolkit offers a roadmap for stakeholders across the sports ecosystem – from National Olympic Committees to grassroots organisations – to embed gender equality at the heart of their strategies, policies and operations. Drawing on global best practices, evidence-based tools and the lived experiences of women in sport, it provides actionable guidance, case studies and implementation strategies to support organisations in transforming their structures, policies and practices.

We hope this resource will serve as a catalyst for change, encouraging reflection, dialogue and action toward a more gender-equal sporting world. We thank our partners and contributors and the champions who continue to challenge the status quo. Together, we are building a sporting world that reflects the values of fairness, inclusion and dignity for all.
