A content analysis of each individual progress report is presented, along with a cumulative analysis of the progress made world-wide in women and sport organisations between 1994- 2010. Findings indicate broad consistency in the structure of the progress reports, with variable detail presented in the different sections. A summary is presented of activities within the key international and regional organisations, as well as activities within individual countries, in order to highlight which groups are most and least actively engaged with issues related to women and sport. Particular attention is given to identifying which groups have signed the Brighton Declaration, and what action has taken place within groups who have, and who have not, signed this Declaration. The progress reports are dependent on reporting from the various organisations which appears to lead to both under- and over- reporting of action and progress. The IWG is congratulated on the excellent monitoring and evaluation of progress, and is encouraged to promote this work more widely and consider how best to maintain this exemplary practice in the future. 6 Section 1 Introduction This report presents a content analysis and review of progress made worldwide in addressing issues related to women and sport. The materials analysed are those reported by the International Working Group on Women and Sport (IWG) since the 1st IWG World Conference on Women and Sport held in Brighton, United Kingdom (UK) in 1994. The IWG has produced quadrennial progress reports that monitor and evaluate: action for advancing women and sport issues, developments, and awareness. The four progress reports have been produced in sequence with the five IWG World Conferences and were seen as fulfilling one of the core roles of each IWG secretariat. The four progress reports analysed were: From Brighton to Windhoek – produced in 1998 and distributed after the 2nd IWG World Conference in Windhoek, Namibia. This progress report covered the four years following the 1st IWG World Conference. From Windhoek to Montreal – produced in 2002 and distributed before the 3rd IWG World Conference in Montreal, Canada. This progress report covered the four years following the 2nd IWG World Conference. From Montreal to Kumamoto – produced in 2006 and distributed before the 4th IWG World Conference in Kumamoto, Japan. This progress report covered the four years following the 3rd IWG World Conference. From Kumamoto to Sydney – produced in 2010 and distributed before the 5th IWG World Conference in Sydney, Australia. This progress report covered the four years following the 4th IWG World Conference. This report has been requested by the current (at the time of writing) IWG secretariat based in Helsinki, Finland, which will be the venue for the 6th IWG World Conference in 2014. The purpose of this report is to provide a critical analysis of sixteen years of IWG monitoring and evaluation as evidenced through their progress reports. It will be the first time that the progress reports have been analysed cumulatively, and it is hoped that this analysis will inform the current IWG in its decisions about monitoring and evaluating in the present quadrennium and over the 20 years that will have passed between the Brighton Conference and the Helsinki Conference. This work, commissioned by the IWG Secretariat, has been undertaken by Jordan Matthews on behalf of the Anita White Foundation which is based at the University of Chichester, UK. The four progress reports were analysed and reviewed using a variety of coding techniques that provide a comprehensive and detailed account of progress reported by the IWG. The data collected was inputted into two Microsoft Excel spread-sheets (Appendix 1 and 2) where it was further categorised and totalled. This data analysis was combined with an identification of patterns and trends regarding which groups have and have not undertaken work towards advancing women and sport. Additionally, the Brighton Declaration on Women and Sport formed a key unit of analysis because it is, in effect, the accepted policy statement for international women and sport organisations and activities, and its adoption seen as a first step for organisations to commit to gender equality in sport. The 2010 version of the Brighton Declaration signatories was received from the IWG (2010b), and this was reviewed alongside the United Nations (UN) member state list (UN, 2012) for comparative analysis. 7 This report is organised into six sections. Following this introduction, the structure and method used for data collection of each progress report is examined and described. Tables and charts are presented to highlight and compare statistics calculated from each progress report. The third section of this report outlines the results from content analysis of the reports and a number of methodological issues encountered while undertaking this work. The fourth section offers a critical analysis of patterns and trends found in each individual progress report and across all the progress reports cumulatively. Each section of this report also includes an introduction, conclusion, and issues the IWG may wish to consider in the future.

Author’s Note I learned such a great deal from this entire honors capstone project, that all the knowledge I have acquired can hardly be covered by what I wrote in these 50 pages. I learned so much more that I was not able to share both about Namibia and myself. I can now claim that I am knowledgeable about nearly all areas of Namibian history and life. I certainly am no expert, but after all of this research I can certainly consider myself reliable. I have never had such an extensive knowledge before of one academic area as a result of a school project. I also learned a lot about myself through this project. I learned how I can motivate myself to work, and I learned how I perform when I have to organize such a long and complicated paper, just to name a couple of things. The strange inability to be able to include everything I learned from doing this project is the reason for some of the more random appendices at the end, as I have a passion for both numbers and trivia.

  • Disability Sport in Sub-Saharan Africa: from Economic Underdevelopment to Uneven Empowerment
    Disability and the Global South, 2014 OPEN ACCESS Vol.1, No. 1, 44-63 ISSN 2050-7364 www.dgsjournal.org Disability Sport in Sub-Saharan Africa: From Economic Underdevelopment to Uneven Empowerment Andrew Novaka* aAmerican University Washington College of Law; George Mason University. Corresponding Author- Email: [email protected] Although athletes with disabilities have integrated into mainstream sport at a rapid rate across the world, Sub-Saharan Africa remains on the periphery of disability sport participation. Disability sport, like most modern regulated sports, has diffused from the Global North to the Global South, and continues to reproduce that process of diffusion though increasingly expensive sport prostheses, adapted equipment, and coaching techniques. The colonial underdevelopment of disability services and coexisting racial inequalities has led to the uneven diffusion of disability sport across the continent, which is reflected by South Africa’s domination of African participation in the Paralympic Games. The result is a ‘disability divide’ in international sport, where the increasing access to technology and sport assistance from the Global North largely benefits a few privileged elite disability athletes, most famously South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius. Presented from a historical perspective, the article traces the origins of the ‘disability divide,’ concluding that integration between disabled and non-disabled athletes around the world may reinforce the continent of Africa’s subordinate status in global capitalism through dependence on international sport aid and athletic migration. Keywords: Sports; disability; colonialism; sub-Saharan Africa Defining the Disability Divide Athletes with disabilities increasingly compete with and against non-disabled athletes on the track, on the field, and in the pool.

  • Women and Sport from Brighton to Windhoek Facing the Challenge
    Women and Sport From Brighton to Windhoek Facing the Challenge Foreword This Report provides a record of positive action by international and national organisations around the world in support of the International Women and Sport Movement during the period May 1994 to May 1998. It highlights the significant progress that has been made to develop a sporting culture that enables and values the full involvement of women in every aspect of sport across a very diverse range of organisations and countries. The report has been prepared by RQA Ltd on behalf of the United Kingdom Sports Council, who since 1994 have provided the secretariat to the International Working Group on Women and Sport. It recognises and pays tribute to those who have taken responsibility for making something happen for women’s sport, which for some individuals has required significant courage when faced with established traditions, entrenched views and strong opposition. Between 1994 and 1998 over 200 organisations throughout the world, from international government fora to national non-governmental women’s groups and sporting federations from Albania to Zimbabwe, have faced the Challenge of Change and adopted the Brighton Declaration on Women and Sport, a positive statement of principles on women and sport. Because of the actions taken by so many individuals and organisations the world of sport is slowly, but positively, moving in a more equitable direction. Women are now on more sporting agendas than ever before and the enormous contribution that sport makes to the wider women’s agenda has also begun to be recognised. As this swell of change picks up momentum sound lessons can be learnt and inspiration sought, to face even the hardest of challenges, from that which others have already achieved.
