International Mappings

The Global Observatory’s mission is to collect and consolidate reliable data, map diverse realities, and provide a comprehensive overview of gender equality in sport, physical activity, and physical education (PEPAS). Together, these resources provide a comprehensive view of the evolving global landscape of gender and sport. The different mappings seek to promote data-driven decision-making and evidence-based action, encouraging the development of policies and practices that lead to lasting, measurable progress toward gender equality in sport at all levels.

GO Mappings

The Global Observatory has initiated the collection of various mappings to better understand the landscape of gender equality in sport: the Policy Mapping which compiles national gender and sport policies; the Timeline of Actions on Women & Sport, presenting a global historical overview of milestones and key actions related to women and sport; the GBV Knowledge Institutions and Initiatives Directory, listing institutions and initiatives focused on Gender-Based Violence (GBV); and the Experts and Expert Contributors Directory, showcasing gender equality experts worldwide.

Together, these resources provide a comprehensive view of the evolving global landscape of gender and sport.
