JOJ Dakar-2026 - Fatou Sow Sarr à la ministre des Sports : « Votre image à elle seule pourrait vendre nos Jeux olympiques »
Professor Fatou Sow Sarr paid a strong tribute to the Minister of Sports, Djireye Clotilde Coly, praising her career, her commitment and her potential to contribute to the success of the Dakar-2026 Youth Olympic Games.

"Your image alone could sell our Olympic Games," she said, before reaffirming that the fight for parity must first and foremost enshrine competence and expertise.
This was during his intervention at a regional forum of ambassadors and presidents of CNOSS on the Dakar-2026 Youth Olympic Games and their socio-economic and sporting impact.
"I am so proud to meet you today. I have admired you through the media," the sociologist told the minister, before suggesting that her image could also contribute to the success of the Youth Olympic Games.
For Fatou Sow Sarr, the presence of qualified women in positions of responsibility is a source of pride for those who have long championed gender equality in Senegal. But this achievement, she believes, should not be limited to a mere representation.

"When we fight for parity, it's so that the best people are put in the best positions. It's not just about putting women in positions of power," she insisted.
The professor thus warns against appointments that prioritize gender over competence. In her view, such an approach could weaken the fight for equality by providing ammunition to those who continue to question women's ability to hold high-level positions.
"Every time we play this game, it's those who are against women who put unqualified women in our positions," she lamented, believing that such a situation could then serve as a pretext to exclude women from decision-making positions.
Beyond representation, Fatou Sow Sarr therefore advocates for parity based on expertise and merit. "Those who fight for equality, those who fight for parity, are fighting for expertise," she concluded.
