Times have changed, and the IOC has played an important role in establishing a positive trend to enhance women\u2019s participation in sport.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 20 years, the IOC has been advocating for the participation of women at all levels, encouraging National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and International Federations (IFs) to enhance the presence of women in sport.<\/p>\n<p>For a number of years, the OIC has sponsored a series conferences thus creating forums for women in leadership in various countries with the goal of expanding the women-in-sport network.<\/p>\n<p>These conferences provide unique opportunities for sports federations to share best practices and effective strategies for increasing the number of women in leadership roles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/96656950.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/><b>Christine Ashley<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It is expected that the following personalities will attend:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7The President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), THOMAS Bach.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7The President of the Association of National Olympic Committees, member of the International Olympic Committee, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahd Al-Sabah.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7The President of the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa and the Ivorian National Olympic Committee and President of the African Judo Union, The Intendant General Lassana Palenfo.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7The Member of the Executive Committee and vice-president of the International Olympic Committee, Nawal El Moutawakel.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7IOC member and FIFA Executive Committee, Chairperson of the International Women\u2019s Committee of the International Olympic Committee and current President of the National Olympic Committee of Burundi, Madam Lydia Nsekera.<\/p>\n<p>Why Rwanda was chosen to host The Advancing Women in Leadership Forum for Africa and Asia 2017:<\/p>\n<p>Rwanda has been a world leader in having the highest number of women in parliament. In addition, there has been increased political will to promote the participation of women sports and through this support the NOC has registered a number of successes since 2012 namely; 30% of women representation in the executive committee, increased numbers of women coaches, female international referees, CAF women instructors, increased participation in Olympic games.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, in 2016, The IOC Women and Sports Trophy for Africa was won by a Rwandan woman who is the current First Vice President of Rwanda National Olympic and Sports Committee, Madam RWEMALIKA F\u00e9licit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically in Rwanda, women sport has been used by women as a tool for unity and reconciliation following the aftermath of the genocide and it became a forum for conversations on important social issues such as HIV\/AIDS, domestic violence, poverty eradication via creation of income generation activities etc.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 56 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Wednesday, 9 August 2017 Source: Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) 2017-08-09 Linear Addy &#13; The Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) has nominated Madam Linear Addy and Christine Ashley to participate in the International Olympic Committee\u2019s (IOC) Advancing Women in Leadership Forum for Africa and Asia 2017.
