Human Rights in Sport

Human rights in sport refer to the fundamental freedoms and protections every individual should have, such as fair treatment, safety, equality, and dignity, regardless of race, gender, nationality, or background. These rights ensure athletes and participants are free from discrimination, abuse, or exploitation and can compete in a safe, respectful environment. Upholding human rights in sport promotes fairness, inclusion, and integrity, fostering positive experiences and societal benefits beyond the game. It is a shared responsibility among organizations, officials, and fans to ensure these principles are respected and promoted at all levels of sport.
