In 1900, the Olympic Games in Paris saw the participation of women for the very first time. Only 2% of the athletes were women—a small but significant step forward. Today, as we close the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, we’ve witnessed a historic milestone: 50% of the athletes were women. This remarkable achievement, 124 years in the making, shows that gender equality in sports is not just a dream but a reality. Women and men now compete for the same number of medals and receive equal recognition on the world stage. This journey has been long and challenging, but it serves as a powerful reminder that equality is possible. Even in areas where change seems difficult or distant, progress is within our reach. Let’s carry this spirit forward and continue striving for equality in all aspects of life. 🚀 #Equality #Olympics #Inclusion #Diversity #Progress

Diversity, Inclusion and Equity 👏👏👏 History is being made in very great ways

The #Paris2024 Olympic Games prompt us to contemplate the hurdles that have shaped its history. Following Paris 1900, Coubertin faced the task of establishing the games as a meaningful event in their own right. In Paris 1924, women brought their struggle to the forefront, pushing for IOC recognition and acceptance of female participation in Olympic competitive sports. By 2024, gender equality in participation has been achieved, yet the obstacles for women persist. Similarly, a significant concern lies in addressing the difficulty of minimizing the environmental impact of this mega-event. Topics presented at the Olympic Studies Center of the #UniversidadPanamericana, Aguascalientes.

22 compared to 975 That was the ratio of women: men in the Paris Olympics 1900. Though the first Modern Day Olympics were held in 1896. It was no female representation as Women were not entitled to compete, because de Coubertin felt that their inclusion would be "impractical, uninteresting, unaesthetic and incorrect". From there to today, it took 128 years to achieve gender equality in the Olympics. Paris Olympics 2024 has equal male and female participation- a 50:50 ratio. From 2.2% in 1900 to 50% in 2024. It's a moment of Victory for the Women as well as the International Olympics Committee. Said that, People who say why feminism, why only ' Women's Day' might think twice. Despite all the feminism, it took 128 years to achieve equality. And this is just the Olympics. Look at Fortune 500, In 1998 there were just 2 women CEOs, In 2024 they are 52. But it's 52 out of 500... Clearly a long way to go... For corporates... Society... You... & Me... #women #equality #feminism #olympics2024 PS: Manu Bhaker who became the first woman to win two medals in a single edition of the Olympic Games.
