I am keen to add my efforts to the development of the GO at this stage, building on the work of all who have contributed to the GO’s formation and evolution. I look forward to deepening collaboration with our stakeholders and partners to bring the GO towards full potential and more importantly, to fulfill our role in the gender equality and sport movements by engaging research and policy towards practice.” Dr. L.M.
