The IOC may show the way, but gender equality still remains far away in the Olympic movement. Proof of this was given this week, during the first online seminar offered by the Central American and Caribbean Sports Organization (CACSO). Nicole Hoevertsz (photo above), one of the members of the IOC Executive Board, explained that the 41 national Olympic committees of Panam Sports had all received aid of $5.000 to finance projects or initiatives in favor of women's sport. “ But this money is still not used, revealed Nicole Hoevertsz, cited by AroundtheRings. I'm really sorry, but it appears that our national Olympic committees have not really benefited from it until now. » Still according to the leader of the island of Aruba, the progress of the sports movement in favor of better representation of women is real, but still much too slow. Only 18 of the 206 national Olympic committees are currently chaired by women. The IOC, for its part, lists 39 women out of 104 members.
