Description
Is the situation in women’s boxing during the last Olympic Games a case of discrimination and harassment of female athletes, or are the allegations justified measures aimed at levelling the playing field in sports competition? This panel will also cover other current issues relating to women in sports and the associated legal implications: income (especially, how to accelerate equality), maternity, sexism, trolling.
