concern on how it will affect the advancements that have been achieved in women and sport. I recommend you read COVID-19, women, girls andsport: Build back better that is published in various languages.

November. I appreciate the kind invitation of the Commission to participate in their meeting that took place August 20th; it was very fruitful.
Particularly thanks to María Fernanda Marín and Ana Edurne Camacho Corredor (Executive Board member and coordinator of the Commission). I
also extend my appreciation to two of our IAPESGW Colombian members: Luz Amelia Hoyos and Claudia Rojas for also participating in themeeting. Claudia has also been very active in weekly webinars on gender equity in sport.
Last but not least, the cooperation with India in their course for PE and community coaches started August 11th until Sept. 4th. On this occasion it
is a pleasure to express that several of our IAPESGW members are participating as speakers. Thank you very much for your contribution: Efthalia(Elia) Chatzigianni (Greece), Darlene Kluka (IAPESGW), Margaret Whitehead (UK), Maria Luisa M. Guinto (Philippines), Sarah Hillyer (USA), Tandy
