Moving towards Longstanding Legacies in Sport Hosting major sporting events can transform a city and its people for a lifetime and secure a positive future long after the event concludes. Mega-sport events have the potential to create a unique set of social, cultural and economic legacies that can positively change a community, a region, or even a nation. Whilst hosting a major international event can be seen as an end in itself, it also offers a great opportunity for the host country to achieve development, peace and progress for its people. How can global events do more to foster local social, cultural and economic legacies, both short term and long term? What can different stakeholders (athletes, sport bodies, governments and international organizations) do to ensure that major sporting events leave a real legacy for future generations?

Charmaine Crooks Federico Addiechi MODERATOR Head of sustainability and diversity, President of NGU Consultants Inc FIFA AND Champion for Peace

THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION PERSPECTIVE Charmaine Crooks emphasized the importance of having a diverse outlook on the legacy “FIFA has been in the news, especially in the last couple of years for its crises, its corruption concept through the lens of different organizations (International Federations, NGOs, scandals and more negative news…but that doesn’t mean that the work behind has not and former Organizing Committees) and, then, attempting to connect legacies to peace continued”, said Federico Addiechi.

To achieve a positive legacy, he stressed the importance of urging all stakeholders to start thinking about the sustainability of an event as early as the initial decision to bid has been made.

Examples of good practice include the athletes and, thus, a lack of opportunity to tell their story and “if you don’t tell that story, Commonwealth Games organizers: “Who are very proactively working on building the it didn’t happen, and if it didn’t happen, in some ways, that eliminates the sense of capacities of the next host cities around human rights issues”.

MODERATOR The Journey Towards Gender Equity in Sport Charmaine Crooks, Champions for Peace Gender Equity is defined as the process of allocating resources, programs and decision-making fairly to both males and females. This means ensuring that everyone has equal and fair access to a range of opportunities to achieve the social, psychological and physical benefits that come from participating in sport. Women first took part in the Olympics in 1900. Since then, women’s participation in the Games - as well as in sport generally - has been slowly, but steadily, increasing. However, women still face a number of gender discrimination challenges in terms of being able to play sport, to get jobs in administrative positions in sport, and to access women’s facilities for adapted sport. How can sport contribute to gender equity on local and global levels, both on and off the pitch? What concrete actions can be taken by different actors (athletes, sport bodies, governments and international organizations) to provide equal opportunities for women in sport?

Abdessattar Ben Moussa Maria Toorpakai President of the Tunisian Human Rights League, Founder of the Maria Toorpakai Foundation a member of the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet, and Champion for Peace Nobel Peace Prize Laureate 2015

Abdessattar Ben Moussa discussed how, since the country gained its independence Maria Toorpakai reflected on her personal experience placing emphasis to the fact Tunisian women have become more empowered. Additionally, since the 2011 revolution, that change began within her family with the pro-women rights attitude of her father women have not ceased to fight for their rights and in 2012, revoked the principle of being and his equal treatment of all her family members regardless of gender. In Pakistan, “complementarity” to men. They organized a demonstration to demand a democratic the current belief is that pushing women down and controlling them is a sign of men’s constitution, leading to the adoption of the principle of parity and equality of rights and strength whereas the actual strength and bravery of men should be empowering duties. However, one of the challenges of the current feminist movement is that the focus women. It is a mutual act of respecting and empowering each other. The real reason is primarily in big cities with few efforts addressed to more rural areas where discrimination behind men wanting women to stay home is because they know “how uncomfortable is still very persistent. And while education and health indicators are now more promising, the environment is outside, how disrespectful…that is why they ask women to stay home participation of Tunisian women in the sports sector (24%) is still lagging behind, facing and cover it up under the religion”. She concluded that it is very tough to survive in such obstacles such as lack of provisions for training facilities, funding, and awareness an environment but sport has the power to transform the society. campaigns for the benefits of sport.

Stiliani Chroni Marja Ruotanen President of Director Human Dignity and Equality within Women Sport International the Directorate General of Democracy, Council of Europe

ISSUES IN POLICY AND IMPLEMENTATION Stiliani Chroni explained that the quest for gender equality in sport goes back to ancient Marja Ruotanen shared her concern that even though legal documents and frameworks Greece when women weren’t allowed to watch sport competitions as spectators. She are in place, they do not necessarily translate into action and this is where future affirmed that sport should be seen as a big investment: “Sport for women can help break challenge lie. Inequality is still evident in media (both in terms of coverage and number down the barriers that we have, the gender stereotypes…or the gender roles that we have of female sport commentators and journalists), income, access to facilities, coaching learnt and we have been groomed into”. Still, the world of sport is not always welcoming positions. The role of media requires special attention because of their immense power and, in 2016, the way sport is structured more likely perpetuates gender inequality than to “set mindsets, form attitudes of the society” and potential to paint a much more fosters gender equality. What hinders this progress is that we still focus on differences positive image of women. Another problem that has yet to be effectively addressed and rather than embracing the fact with these differences we are actually complementing each may contribute to decreased female participation in sports domains is that of violence other. Chroni asserted that we have the paperwork, the guidelines and policy documents against women in the form of sexual violence and harassment, bullying which most but “we are lacking the most important thing… political commitment, will and action”. often occurs in a close circle of trust.

Aya Medany Member of the Athletes’ Commission, International Olympic Committee and Champion for Peace

CHAMPION’S POINT OF VIEW Aya Medany recounted how her struggles began in 2009 when full-body swimsuits were no longer allowed in competition. It was a “disaster” for her but instead of quitting she decided to pursue her Olympic dream feeling “painful”, being treated unfairly, unable to concentrate on her game and, ultimately, failing to reach her medal goal in 2012. “For governments, fathers, and husbands, please support and give us the chance to discover us…I am here because my husband and my father believed in me”, she affirmed. She also expressed her wish to see male participants on panel’s forums about gender equality so that we have a complete and complementary perspective. “When you support us, we will support you. We don’t want to be the boss; we just want to be equal.”

SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS • Federations and Governing Bodies should really look at how to increase women’s participation in Boards, Committees, and decision-making positions. • The differences between men and women can be the starting point of great things and we should have the open-mind to recognize the immense potential behind intersecting these differences. • Leverage the power of media to fight gender stereotypes and promote a more positive image of women. • The International Modern Pentathlon Federation should consider developing Mixed Relay competitions and the media could portray how men and women complement each other. • Address the power of coaches, which often results in abusive behavior keeping young athletes away from sport.

MODERATOR Using the Power of Digital Media Charmaine Crooks, Champions for Peace New technologies and digital platforms are providing unprecedented access to all sort of ideas and information to people throughout the world. At the same time, more and more people are using technology to connect and share experiences with others. In this context, sport information content can be a platform for people to engage in dialogue, foster connections and peace-building within online communities and beyond.
