Sport must mirror the diversity of society and actively work to be inclusive, safe, and respectful for all. Inclusion is more than policy—it is a commitment to human dignity and equal opportunity.
Gender equality is fundamental, calling for balanced representation and access to roles at all levels of sport. Equal treatment and recognition strengthen the fabric of sport and inspire future generations.
Respecting LGBTQIA+ individuals and creating environments free from discrimination is equally vital. Sport must be a place where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and safe to express their identity.
Ensuring accessibility for persons with disabilities is another key priority. This includes not only physical access but also opportunities for participation, representation, and leadership.
A proactive stance against racism and all forms of discrimination is non-negotiable. Organisations must implement clear anti-discrimination rules and enforce them consistently. In parallel, safeguarding measures must be in place to protect all participants from abuse, harassment, and violence.
Upholding human rights is the ultimate benchmark of ethical sport governance. By embedding rights-based approaches into their operations, sport organisations ensure that fairness, respect, and dignity remain at the heart of sport.
