The sixth World Conference on Women and Sport has kicked off in Helsinki, Finland.

Organised by the International Working Group on Women and Sport (IWG), the four-day conference will see more than 700 industry leaders from 100 countries gather to discuss women and sport under the overall theme of "Lead the Change - Be the Change".

During the conference, delegates will look to find ways to improve and promote the role of women in all aspects of sport, using five "sub themes":

Buck the trend - Leading the change in sport policy

Be your best coach - Pursuing excellence in leadership & coachingMove me! - Physical activity, health & well-being for life

100% sport - Enhancing participation through creativity & innovationSport without fear - Sport as a safe haven & bastion for human rights

The conference is supported by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), whose president Thomas Bach, will present a keynote session on Thursday 12 June.

Bach said: "Women's participation in sport and sports administration is a key priority for the IOC.

"A great deal has been achieved on and off the field of play in recent years - all sports at the Olympic Games are now open to women, for example, and every National Olympic Committee has now sent female athletes to the Games - but we all know that change in this area does not come easily."

• The IWG was founded in 1994 and the first World Conference on Women and Sport was held the same year in Brighton, UK. During the inaugural conference, a Brighton Declaration on Women and Sport was created, which has since been signed by more than 400 organisations worldwide.

• This year's conference will be streamed live online - click here for more information and the links to the streams.
