IOC Implements Gender Equality Measures for Paris 2024

The Paris 2024 Olympics have achieved a milestone in gender parity, with a near-equal split between male and female athletes, marking significant progress from past Games. However, despite improvements, issues of gender equity persist, such as disproportionate media coverage and unconscious biases in broadcasting. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has implemented changes to promote equality, including scheduling shifts and updated filming guidelines to combat sexist portrayals. Additionally, the Games continue to highlight the achievements of women athletes, although challenges in achieving true equity remain evident. Controversies, such as disputes over gender eligibility and criticisms of media portrayals, underscore ongoing struggles for fairness in sports. These efforts and challenges reflect the broader societal push towards gender equality both on and off the field.
