We at the Olympic Committee of Israel have joined the call made by Dr. Thomas Bach, President of the Olympic Movement, to reduce gender gaps in sport and to strive for equality between the genders through commitment and responsibility, by making an influence and serving as an example to sport organizations in Israel. As early as 2018, equality was implemented in effect in the Youth Olympic Games which took place in Argentina, and the Tokyo Olympic Games (2021) will show far reaching changes with female representation aspiring to equality. In the Paris Olympic Games (2024) 50% of participating athletes in the Olympic Games will be females.

BETZER-TAYAR iii The role of women in decision-making positions – The case of the Israeli sport organisations ABSTRACT This thesis analyses discourses about the roles and barriers to access for women to decision-making positions in Israeli sport organisations. In particular it focuses on the exploration of discourses of masculinity and femininity that underpin the relatively recent construction of Israel society and the institutions of sport within it. It is observed that for the most part, Israeli sport organisations are governed by men and have served the interests of forms of hegemonic masculinity. In order to understand and explore the social construction of these gendered discourses in Israeli sport, two innovative and significant policy initiatives toward gender equity in sport were explored through the perceptions and discourses of key actors. These include the establishment of a Volleyball Academy for Young Talented Girls (VAYTG) and the creation of the National Project for Women and Sport (NPWS).
