Online Workshop: Understanding the Risk Factors of Abuse in Sports

*Date TBD

The impact of interpersonal violence in sport is becoming widely known and recognized as rooted in power imbalances. Abuse in sports is often driven by patterns of power and control that disproportionately impact women and girls.

The risks of experiencing gender-based violence in the context of sports are also increased by variety of factors including race, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and religion. These overlapping dynamics create a unique set of vulnerabilities, often exposing certain groups of women and girls to further exploitation and marginalization.

During International Women’s Month, we aim to reflect on progress but also confront the systemic and unique challenges faced by women and girls, discuss potential solutions, and explore how the broader safe sport community can stand in solidarity with women and girls.

* Stay tuned for more information and details on how to register.

Sport has the potential to be a catalyst for human development, unity, and freedom, but too often it instead brings harm to its athletes, fans, and communities. We exist to uncover and rectify the many abuses that exist both in and around sport. We aim to transform sports into an authentic force for good.
