International: London Olympics 2012 Justice for Women

This document is the concerted effort of the Coordination Francaise pour le Lobby Europeen des Femmes, femix Sports, Regards de femmes, European Women’s Lobby, One Law for All, Conseil National des Femmes Francaise, Federation of GAY GAMES. Directed mainly at the Olympic movement in hope that London would mark the turning point, the demand is to end all gender-based discrimination and stereotypes!

In the stadium, under the same law, wearing similar attires, women athletes share with men the joy of exertion and striving for the highest goal.
