Gender Equity:
The concept of gender equity refers to “fairness of treatment for women and men, according to their respective needs. This include equal treatment or treatment that is different but which is considered equivalent in terms of rights, benefits, obligations and opportunities”. In judo, respect is one of many of our values and it’s only #TogetherAsOne that we will be able to address and promote this message in the judo community.
