The role of the Women in Sports Commission is to:

Promote and share information about the positive contribution that girls’ and women’s’ involvement in sport makes, inter alia, to social, health and economic issues;

Build the capacity of women as leaders and decision-makers and ensure that women play meaningful and visible roles in sport at all levels. Create mechanisms that ensure that young women have a choice in the development of policies and programmes that affect them;

Reach out beyond the current boundaries of the sport sector to the global women’s equality movement and develop closer partnerships between sport and women’s organizations on the one side, and representatives from sectors such as education, youth, health, human rights and employment on the other.

Develop strategies that help other sectors obtain their objectives through the medium of sport and at the same time further sport objectives.

Encourage more women to become researchers in sport, and more research to be undertaken on critical issues in relation to women in sport administration and competition;

Study and make reports an any matter referred to it by any organ of the Malta Olympic Committee.
