IOC calls for more cooperation between development finance and sports communities at UN Financing for Development Conference
The IOC also co-organised a high-level side event titled ‘Financing to End Violence Against Women and Girls’ The session brought together governments, civil society, international organisations and financial institutions to identify sustainable financing solutions. Prince Feisal emphasised how sport, when delivered safely and inclusively, can be used to address violence.
The IOC also co-organised a high-level side event titled “Financing to End Violence Against Women and Girls”, in partnership with the UN Spotlight initiative, UN Women, the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), the Government of Uganda and the Global Civil Society Reference Group.
The session brought together governments, civil society, international organisations and financial institutions to identify sustainable financing solutions to address gender-based violence. Delivering the opening remarks, Prince Feisal addressed the urgency of strengthening the support for sport-based approaches and partnerships that make them effective: “Are we ready to invest – not just in sport, but in the partnerships and leadership that drive real, lasting impact?” he asked.
Prince Feisal emphasised how sport, when delivered safely and inclusively, can be used to address violence, and highlighted how the IOC’s Olympism365 strategy is already reaching tens of millions of people through 550 sport-based initiatives in 175 countries.
“These programmes help advance gender equality, education, peacebuilding and protection – including efforts to challenge harmful norms and prevent violence against women and girls,” he said.
