The overriding aim is to develop a
sporting culture that enables and
values the full involvement of women
in every aspect of sport.
It is in the interests of equality,
development and peace that a
commitment is made by governmental,
non-governmental organisations and
all those institutions involved in
sport to apply the Principles set out
in this Declaration by developing
appropriate policies, structures and
mechanisms which:
-
Ensure that all women and girls
have the opportunity to participate
in sport in a safe and supportive
environment which preserves the
rights, dignity and respect of the
individual;
-
Increase the involvement of women
in sport at all levels and in all
functions and roles;
-
Ensure that the knowledge,
experiences and values of women
contribute to the development of
sport
-
Promote the recognition by women
of the intrinsic value of sport and
its contribution to personal
development and healthy lifestyle.
