The meet organizers run the competitions and are the only ones
responsible for their web pages

I am not Facebook friends with the person who posted this or most
that have commented, so I am not able to comment directly and can only post this
reply here on my page.

I am a female pilot and representative of the FAI as the CIVL Secretary and I am
here in Krushevo serving as a juror at the European Championship. I felt it was
time to officially respond to this post on behalf of the CIVL. While this
competition is FAI sanctioned, neither the FAI or the CIVL “run” competitions.
Private parties, via their country’s NAC (national airports organizations) are
responsible for all aspects of “running” an event such as this. Neither the FAI
or the CIVL “allowed” this photo to be posted on Facebook. It is the
responsibility of the CIVL to ensure that Category 1 events (world championships
and continental championships) are “safe, fair and satisfying”. It is NOT the
responsibility of the CIVL, nor do we feel it is appropriate to engage in the
censorship of any media reports or photographs posted by private parties or
competition organizers.

The person who posted this remark as well as many commenters seem to believe
that the FAI or CIVL is responsible for discrimination in the sport and they
seem to suggest that we are not making great efforts to encourage and promote
women in hang gliding and paragliding. This belief is misguided. We are in fact
making constant efforts to promote and encourage women in air sports. Last
February CIVL created a "Women's Dynamics" working group with a dedicated page
on the CIVL site. We also implemented specific rules that allowed for more women
to participate in this very event. On a rest day here last week we held a
special meeting specifically to discuss women in competition and what the CIVL
can do to help promote more participation. We endeavor to make tangible
contributions to the promotion of women in our sports and this characterization
of the CIVL as an organization that is not “setting the bar” to your standard is
unjustified and unfair.

We respect the right of all individuals to express their opinion on this matter
or their distaste for this photo. However, it is unfair of any person commenting
here to suggest that the CIVL is in any way responsible for this photo or for
promoting the “objectification of women.” Moreover, expecting that the CIVL
should censor this photo is also unwarranted. It is, fortunately, not the job of
CIVL to make judgments as to what is or is not an acceptable depiction of the
events at this or any other competition.

keep the hot Texas sun off their skin. Here is a picture of our driver, Audray
