One of the principal tasks of the International Working Group on Women and Sport (IWG) is to monitor the progress made in advancing the status of women in sport since the Second World Conference held in Windhoek, Namibia in May 1998.
The aim of this report is to share the success stories and lessons learned from actions taken to initiate or continue that advancement, by both national and international organisations worldwide. Building on a similar report produced by UK Sport in 1998 entitled Women and Sport. "From Brighton to Windhoek: Facing the Challenge", which charted progress in the four years between the 1994 Brighton and 1998 Windhoek Conferences, this report is intended to serve both as a record of actions taken, and as a source of inspiration, ideas and advice for individuals and organisations working to enhance the involvement of women in sport and physical activity.
