Human Rights and Sports Policies Affecting Girls and Women

This 1984 summary discusses the paper “Participation in Sport: The Issue of Integration versus Separate-But-Equal”, prepared by Helen Lenskyi for Canadian Association for the Advancement of Sport and Sport (CAAWS) and the Sport Canada Women’s Program. Lenskyj outlines the differences between the three approaches to the equality of sexes in sports: (1) integration, (2) separate-but-equal, and (3) combination. The summary also interrogates myths of “female frailty” in sports, emphasizing human rights and equality within Canadian sports.
