Enhance women's participation in sport

Following the recommendations of a Study Commission of the IOC Centennial Olympic Congress in 1994, a Women and Sport Working Group was established in 1995 by the thenIOC President to advise the Executive Board on suitable policies to be implemented in this field.

It became a fully fledged commission in March 2004 which meets once a year and is a consultative body. On the basis of its recommendations, an action programme is developed and implemented by the IOC through its International Cooperation and Development Department. As a leader of the Olympic Movement, whose first objective is to promote Olympism and develop sport worldwide, the IOC has constantly played a complementary role to establish a positive trend to increase women's participation in sport at all levels, and especially over the last decades.

Women and Sport Working Group telah ditubuhkan pada 1995 oleh Presiden IOC utk menasihati Badan Eksekutif berkenaan dengan polisi yg sesuai untuk digunakan dlm bidang Women And Sport Working Group. Pertubuhan ini menjadi sebuah pertubuhan yang aktif bermula pada Mac 2004 yang mana perjumpaan antara ahlinya dilakukan setahun sekali. Sebagai peneraju kepada Olympic Movement (IOC,IFs,NOCs) yang mana objektif utamanya ialah untuk mempromosikan Olympism dan memperkembangkan bidang sukan ke seluruh dunia, IOC telah memainkan peranan penting untuk membentuk imej dan trend yang positif untuk meningkatkan penglibatan wanita dalam sukan pada semua peringkat dan tahap, lebih-lebih lagi pada zaman yang serba maju ini.

The International Sports Federations (IFs) are responsible for the integrity of their sport on the international level. The International Sports Federations are international non-governmental organisations recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as administering one or more sports at world level. The national federations administering those sports are affiliated to them. While conserving their independence and autonomy in the administration of their sports, International Sports Federations seeking IOC recognition must ensure that their statutes, practice and activities conform with the Olympic Charter. The IFs have the responsibility and duty to manage and to monitor the everyday running of the world's various sports disciplines, including for those on the programme, the practical organisation of events during the Games. The IFs must also supervise the development of athletes practising these sports at every level. Each IF governs its sport at world level and ensures its promotion and development. They monitor the everyday administration of their sports and guarantee the regular organisation of competitions as well as respect for the rules of fair play. The IFs may formulate proposals addressed to the IOC concerning the Olympic Charter and the Olympic Movement in general, including the organising and holding of the Olympic Games; give their opinions concerning the candidatures for organising the Olympic Games, particularly concerning the technical capabilities of the candidate cities; collaborate in the preparation of the Olympic Congresses; and participate in the activities of the IOC commissions.

The mission of the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) is to develop, promote and protect the Olympic Movement in their respective countries. Misi utama National Olympic Comittees ialah untuk membangunkan, mempromosikan dan melindungi Olympic Movement dalam negara-negara terlibat. The NOCs promote the fundamental principles of Olympism at a national level within the framework of sports. NOCs are committed to the development of athletes and support the development of sport for all programmes and high performance sport in their countries. They also participate in the training of sports administrators by organising educational programmes.

The National Olympic Committee can then name that city to the IOC as a candidate to host the Olympic Games.
