It has revealed some figures regarding representation of womenThey currently hold 22 of the 74 positions within the executive office, committees, commissions and administrative staff, i.e. 30% of the workforce.
They are well represented on the Sports and Competitions Commission (57%) or the Ethics Commission (50%), but much less so on the Finance Commission (14%), the Coaches Commission (17%), or the remuneration committee, which currently has no female members. « For World Boxing, measuring and communicating these figures is an important element in establishing lasting change and identifying areas where future actions should focus.

She cites among her priorities increasing the number of women who transition from competition to coaching, refereeing, or other technical roles. World Boxing has clearly stated the need for gender parity at the Olympic Games, but we still have work to do during our own events and in technical arbitration, admits Dinah Glykidis, chair of the commission for equality, diversity and inclusion. One of our biggest challenges is increasing the number of female coaches and referees.There are significant opportunities to improve representation in these areas, and our commission will work with all relevant stakeholders to identify concrete initiatives enabling more women to participate and progress in the world of boxing. »
