Analizarea și abordarea decalajelor de gen în sport (PROGRES, 2022)
Analysing and Addressing Gender Gaps in Sport (PROGRES, 2022)

Summary/Abstract: Analysing and Addressing Gender Gaps in Sport is a study undertaken under er the auspices of the PROGRES project and was published in February 2022. The study aims to research and report inequalities between women and men that manifest in football federations and associations, but also in other sports and also to identify the reasons and causes of these gender gaps. The authors of the study took into account the latest strategies and policies of the EU on the promotion of gender equality in sport. Among the authors of the study figures FILIA Center (member of the network for combating violence against women and member of the RIHR working group on the rights of women) as a Romanian partner in the project. During May-October 2021, data were collected from sports federations and associations on the number of women in decision-making positions, followed by similar data from other sports organizations. After the completion of the data collection, good practices in the field of gender mainstreaming initiatives in football organisations and their decision-making bodies were identified. Following interviews and analysis, the study confirms that men hold the most positions in the sports hierarchy and are considered more competent than women, so it becomes obvious that a change is needed in the process of recruiting women in sports.
