- Organising committee’s board now consists of 42% women
- Committee will be dissolved after this year’s Games
The Tokyo Olympics has made a symbolic gesture toward gender equality by appointing 12 women to the body’s executive board, which will now have 19 women among its 45 members, or 42%.
To accommodate the new women, the size of the board was increased from 35 to 45. Several resignations on Tuesday also created more space.
