Dear the IWG community,<\/p>\n

I was delighted to be asked to provide a monthly update for the network. The trouble was knowing where to start, there is plenty happening so here\u2019s a few highlights and a brief look forward \u2013 you can read my full update on the IWG website.<\/p>\n

In April I represented IWG at the Olympic Council of Asia\u2019s (OCA) Gender Equity Seminar in Brunei, a tiny nation with a big, welcoming heart.<\/p>\n

\"\"Centred around the theme of \u2018Watch Her Shine\u2019, the seminar brought together 95 participants from 43 National Olympic Committees to outline the key priorities of: maintaining gender equity efforts, providing more support for NOCs, creating leadership training for women, and integrating initiatives into the Asian Games. Hearing directly from those working in a wide range of sports across a continent as vast and diverse as Asia was a privilege. Their experiences are unique, but the issues are broad and global and helping find ways to address the barriers and initiate system change is much easier with a strong community to support and share challenges.<\/p>\n

May opened with the excellent Sport Resolution Conference, one of my favourite sports law events of the year. It hosts a stimulating Women in Sports Law breakfast each year, supporting anyone working in sports law to meet and network<\/p>\n

\"\"whilst updating on current issues; on this occasion looking ahead to Milan Cortina Winter Games and how recent legal precedents might impact the IOC\u2019s rule 40. In closing, Amina Graham pulled together an excellent overview of the law and application of the Gender Recognition Act [2004] in sport, following the Supreme Court\u2019s Ruling on female only categories and single sex spaces and the practical implications for governing bodies.<\/p>\n

On the same day the ICC and ECB pulled off an engaging and ground-breaking launch for the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup to be hosted in England and Wales 2026, ahead of the IWG Summit. With Malala Yousafzai and Vanessa Williams on the podium alongside rugby\u2019s Ellie Kildunne, the audience was invited to help shape the tournament\u2019s engagement strategy, recognising the immense moment in time the global event will give the ECB to transform cricket for future generations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This month, I\u2019m on my way to Lausanne, Switzerland via the UNESCO-FTT Conference in Paris, which will present the Fit for Life Global Alliance and partnership with Federation Francaise de Tennis, promoting inclusion and accessibility. At Olympism365 \u00a0I\u2019m particularly looking forward to seeing Prof Elizabeth Pike from the University of Hertfordshire \u2013 and IWG\u2019s Research Lead \u2013 collect her \u2018IOC GEDI Champions Award\u2019 <\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll also be tuning into the first episode of IWG\u2019s \u00a0\u2018Shift\\Sessions\u2019, which takes place on 18 June at 1pm BST. If you haven\u2019t already done so, you can register here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wishing you a brilliant June, and I look forward to providing my next update to you.<\/p>\n
