Combating sexual harassment in sport

A Tempo Livre and the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth (IPDJ) promote on February 12th, in Multiusos de Guimarães, the “Start do Talk” initiative that aims to sensitize the sports movement to combat the sexual abuse of children and young people in the context of sport and call for them to contribute to preventive measures and response to this scourge.

The initiative, free of charge (mandatory registration here), grants credits for continuing education (TD and TEF) and is promoted in collaboration with the Guimarães City Council and the National Commission for the Promotion of the Rights and Protection of Children and Youth (CNPDPCJ).

The “Start to Talk” campaign was launched in Portugal in 2018 and is one of the results of Portugal's participation, through the Government and IPDJ-IP in the joint project of the Council of Europe and the European Commission - “Pro Safe Sport +”.

One in five children in Europe is a victim of sexual abuse, according to information from the Council of Europe. In sport, abuse also happens. It is imperative to prevent and protect children and young athletes from this crime. The recognition of the existence of the problem in sport, as well as the discussion of paths and the implementation of practical measures, is essential to solve it.

Registrations must be formalized by February 10 by filling in the available form here.
