European NOCs voted 43-7 in favor of the motion that Keane, the chair of the Gender Equality Commission, put forward at the EOC 49th General Assembly on November 27.
“I feel that it is actually very significant – I think we’re one of the first continents at the Olympic level to do this and Europe would like to see itself leading in this field and obviously to support the work of the IOC and ANOC,” Keane tells ATR’s Brian Pinelli in the latest edition of the ANOC Podcast.
