    Committee: International Olympic Committee

    Representation: Republic of Chile (Neven Ilic)


    Institution: Centre Universitario Doctor Emilio Cárdenas
    CUDEC
    Name of the Representative: Alessandra Yaretzi
    Serrano De La Paz

    Topic A:
    ● Exploring policies for the inclusion of transgender women in women’s Olympic
    events.

    The inclusion of transgender women in women’s Olympic events has become a prominent
    and complex issue within the realm of international sports. As society evolves in its
    understanding of gender identity and rights, there is growing attention on how to best ensure
    fair competition while promoting inclusivity for transgender athletes. Although gender parity
    in participation has been achieved, transgender people face exclusion and discrimination.

    In the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, no transgender women participated, but a trans man in
    boxing and at least two non-binary people did participate for the first time. This reflects the
    complexity of the issue and the need for clear and fair policies. Some athletes and coaches
    have expressed their opposition to the participation of trans women in women's competitions,
    arguing that it could affect equity and safety. However, there are also those who defend
    inclusion and respect for gender identity.

    As for Chile, there wasn’t any specific information on the participation of transgender women
    in Olympic sports. However, it is important to note that the International Athletics Federation
    has established policies for the participation of transgender athletes, which include hormonal
    and gender identity requirements.

    It is essential to consider diversity and inclusion in sports, and work towards policies that
    respect gender identity and promote equity and justice for all female athletes.

    For this, as representative of The Republic of Chile I propose the following strategies to
    achieve this:
    ● Clear Standards for Testing and Monitoring: Create a standardized, transparent
    process for monitoring testosterone levels and other relevant factors, ensuring fairness
    across all competitions and providing clear guidelines for athletes.

    ● Pilot Programs: Introduce pilot programs in selected sports to test the impact of
    transgender inclusion and assess fairness before broad implementation.
    ● Independent Oversight Body: Create an independent committee within the IOC to
    oversee the implementation of transgender inclusion policies and ensure that they are
    being enforced equitably and fairly.

    ● Flexible Policies for Different Sports: Recognize that the impact of gender
    transition may vary across sports and allow for sport-specific policies to ensure
    fairness while maintaining inclusivity.

    ● Clear and Consistent Guidelines: Develop clear, transparent guidelines for the
    inclusion of transgender athletes in Olympic events, ensuring consistency and
    fairness.
