When the athletes parade around the Olympic stadium in Athens later this year, there will be eight countries without any women at all.
This week the European Commissioner for social affairs announced she's writing to the Greek Olympic Committee to put pressure on participants to include women.
Most of the countries involved are Muslim. So is this a legitimate way to help female athletes or an attempt to impose Western values on different cultures?
Martha discusses the issues with Anne Marie Lizin, a Belgian Senator and founder of the pressure group and Sara Sherif, who writes for Muslim News and helped recruit a team for the Muslim Women's Games.
