1st International Congress of Women and Sport
The 1st International Congress of Women and Sport was organized by the Ministry of Sports and Recreation (MIDEPOR), the Costa Rican Sports and Recreation Institute (ICODER), the Ministry of Women and the National Institute of Women (INAMU), with the purpose of jointly building the public policy of gender equality in matters of sport and recreation. The Congress constitutes the first space for discussion and formulation of such policy in the national sphere. In 2016, this initiative made provisions to continue a series of activities and workshops with the purpose of elaborating on an official document that allows for a true participation of women in all forms of sport and recreation in the country. Participation in the Congress was reserved for representatives of each Cantonal Committee of Sports and Recreation, or federation or sports association, and nongovernmental organizations. Over 100 athletes, sports leaders, men and women representing sports associations and federations participated, along with representatives from cantonal sports and recreation committees, international lecturers, technicians and professionals from the Costa Rican Sport and Recreation Institute (ICODER) and the National Institute of Women (INAMU).
