- Description
- Reports on a study about the experiences of female sports administrators at a provincial level in the Western Cape. Refers to findings which point to evidence to suggest that female sport administrators have challenged practices of differential treatment, especially with regard to decision making and gender-role stereotyping. Concludes that even though the participants in this study acknowledged that differential treatment does exist, they do not experience it directly because they challenge such practices. One recommendation for this study is that leadership and mentoring programmes should be offered to women in leadership positions and those in prospective leadership positions
