Global – Special Action For A Milestone Anniversary – This year the FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme) Women in Motorcycling Commission is celebrating its 10 year anniversary.
Back in June 2006, the FIM made a major commitment towards women in motorcycling by signing the Brighton Declaration, a document drafted in 1994 in Great Britain (Brighton) during the first World Conference on Women and Sport.
To date, 419 organisations worldwide have endorsed the Declaration with the goal to “enable and value full involvement of women in every aspect of Sport”.
Over the past decade, the FIM Women in Motorcycling Commission has concentrated its efforts in promoting and increasing the presence of women in motorcycling in all activities.
One key action in achieving this objective is communication – spreading the word, giving exposure, sharing best practices and success stories.
10 years later, to reinforce its actions, the FIM Women in Motorcycling Commission is launching its own platform – a dedicated website – to celebrate all the women involved or interested in motorcycling.
