Demand that the International Olympic Committee respect the Olympic Charter's Anti-Discrimination Provision. Ask that the International Olympic Committee investigate countries that do not bring women team members to the Olympics. Dear Mr. Samaranch, As a women's rights supporter, I would like to ask you to take action against countries that do not allow women participants in the Olympics. Yet many countries which participate in the Olympics do not bring women team members. Many countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Qatar, Kuwait, Uniter Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Oman, and Yemen, unofficially prohibit women from competing.
Gender apartheid is just as serious a human rights violation as racial apartheid.
I demand that the International Olympic Committee respect the Olympic Charter's Anti-Discrimination Provision, and ban countries from the Olympics that do not allow women to compete.
