Abstract：
Although the Paralympic Games have been around for over 60 years, women remain underrepresented in almost all aspects of the Paralympic Movement. It has been suggested that a way to increase women\'s involvement is through the implementation of mixed-gender events. On paper, this approach makes sense. However, when it comes to the implementation of mixed-gender opportunities for women, it is less clear how effective these events are in increasing participation by women in Para sport. Through document analysis and interviews with athletes and organizers of mixed-gender Paralympic sport, we explore the various strategies that four mixed-gender sports have used to address the issue of gender parity. Using critical feminist theories, we illustrate how larger social, political, and cultural ideas about gender influence women\'s experiences within these events and discuss the potential of using mixed-gender initiatives to address gender parity within the Paralympic Movement.
摘要：
尽管残奥会已经存在了60多年，在残奥会的几乎所有方面，妇女的代表性仍然不足。有人建议，增加妇女参与的一种方法是通过实施混合性别活动。在纸上，这种方法是有道理的。然而,当谈到为妇女提供混合性别机会时，尚不清楚这些事件在增加妇女参与Para运动方面的有效性。通过文件分析和采访混合性别残奥运动的运动员和组织者，我们探讨了四种性别混合运动用于解决性别均等问题的各种策略。运用批判的女性主义理论，我们说明了更大的社会，政治,和关于性别的文化观念影响妇女在这些活动中的经历，并讨论使用混合性别倡议来解决残奥运动中性别平等的潜力。
