She said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cThe IWG is thrilled to welcome the IOC to our family of global and local partners supporting the delivery of the 8<sup>th<\/sup> IWG World Conference on Women &amp; Sport. For many years, the IOC has been working to achieve gender equality on and off the field of play and we are convinced that sharing stories of change from within the Olympic Movement will inspire more change around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Held over four days from 5-8 May 2022, the 8<sup>th<\/sup> IWG World Conference on Women &amp; Sport will break new ground with its eighth edition. From humble beginnings in Brighton, UK, back in 1994, the event has now become the world\u2019s largest gathering to advance gender equity and equality in sport and physical activity. Over 1,200 global leaders attended in-person in Gaborone, Botswana, in 2018, including the IOC. The move to a hybrid format &#8211; with a full physical experience in Auckland running simultaneously with a fully interactive virtual experience &#8211; is expected to draw many hundreds more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Froggatt continued: \u201cNow, more than ever, we need to draw together as a global community of action, to drive positive change for women and girls in sport and physical activity. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be felt in every corner of the globe, threatening momentum toward gender equity and equality. We are proud to have the IOC join us as a partner, as we drive onwards.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u2slgS_jUEo\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">WATCH IWG SECRETARY GENERAL, RACHEL FROGGATT&#8217;S VIRTUAL TALK<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The announcement comes with the support and endorsement of <strong>Lydia Nsekera<\/strong><strong>, Chair of the IOC Women in Sport Commission:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cThe IOC is very pleased to support the 8th IWG World Conference on Women &amp; Sport. Such forums are instrumental to advancing gender equality and inclusion. They bring key actors together to reach this common goal we all have: building an equal and inclusive sporting world. In the challenging context we live in today, we must remember that diversity and equality are fundamental values that we can draw strength from &#8211; because we are all united in our diversity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Hundreds of global change-makers from within the Olympic Movement will now be encouraged by the IOC to participate in the IWG World Conference virtually and wherever its possible, in-person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The IOC itself will showcase its global leadership during the conference across its five focus areas of participation, leadership, safe sport, portrayal and resource allocation. In particular, the IOC will work with the IWG Programming Team and also the Equity Commission Oceania (ECO) to design sessions with an emphasis on \u2018safeguarding athletes\u2019 and \u2018closing the gender gap in elite-level coaching\u2019. These will add to a comprehensive event programme, to be announced shortly, designed by 150+ international experts within the IWG network, from 30+ countries on all five continents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The IOC will also contribute to the IWG Insight Hub, a brand new online platform launched by the IWG recently, as home for the world\u2019s best insights, case studies, toolkits and news to support positive change for women and girls worldwide. The IOC will encourage members of the Olympic Movement to become part of the IWG Insight Hub, to take inspiration from great work globally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Raewyn Lovett ONZM, Co-Chair of the International Working Group on Women &amp; Sport, said: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cThe support of the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Movement worldwide is very welcome, as we prepare to bring the world together for this vital conversation and strategy session.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">With Aotearoa New Zealand now on a pathway toward re-opening to the world post COVID-19, we are working with confidence toward our borders being open.
