The Circle of Women

MANDATE
Since its beginning, the Montréal 2006 Organising Committee has sought to increase the involvement of women in 1st World Outgames activities. The creation of the Circle of Women is part of this ongoing mission. Its mandate will be to support the presence of women in the Outgames by encouraging registration and ensuring a women-oriented programme during the Outgames.

A diverse range of cultural programming for women will be essential in building enthusiasm and excitement for the Outgames. With these concrete actions we hope to increase the overall registration of women. The Circle will explore options for activities and propose programming, in close collaboration with the Montréal 2006 Organising Committee.

PROFILE
Diversity is the hallmark of the Circle of Women. Bringing together women of different backgrounds who are active in fields such as culture, sport and women’s rights, the Circle will create a synergy for new approaches and strategies to attract women to the Outgames. The women of the Circle will be innovators and organisers of various initiatives, using their networks to increase the representation of women. They will share a common desire to exchange ideas and experiences with other women during the Outgames, and are personally or professionally involved in the women’s community of their city of origin.
