Information für Sportorganisationen

Das Projekt VOICE möchte Sportverbände und -vereine darin unterstützen, ihre Maßnahmen für einen sicheren und gewaltfreien Sport weiter auszubauen. Um diese Maßnahmen wirkungsvoll zu entwickeln, müssen sie gerade von jenen, die davon am stärksten betroffen sind, mitgestaltet werden.

Die Stimmen von Betroffenen bilden somit die Basis für das VOICE-Projekt. Ihre Berichte liefern Erfahrungswerte, die authentisch und nachhaltig in Präventionsmaßnahmen überführt werden können.

Zwei auf Europäischer Ebene durchgeführte Vorläuferprojekte zum Thema sexualisierter Gewalt im Sport bestätigen dies. Das Projekt „Prevention of sexualised violence in European sport“ wurde von der Deutschen Sportjugend koordiniert und das Projekt „Sports Respects Your Rights“ von der Sportunion Österreich.

Die Erfahrungen aus diesen Projekten zeigen, dass gerade die Berichte von Betroffenen für die Sensibilisierung in Sportorganisationen wichtig sind.

Die durch VOICE entwickelten Lehrmaterialien werden grundlegende Prinzipien zum Schutz der Integrität von Sportler/innen aufbereiten und insbesondere die Prävention sexualisierter Gewalt thematisieren. Die Materialien werden auch über die Projektdauer hinaus online zur freien Nutzung zugänglich bleiben.

Weiterhin bietet VOICE eine gute Möglichkeit, auf nationaler und Europäischer Ebene Netzwerke zu bilden bzw. diese weiter zu entwickeln. Damit eröffnet sich für Sportorganisationen ein Weg, sich dem Problem der sexualisierten Gewalt im Sport verantwortungsvoll zu stellen und sich darüber auszutauschen.

Wenn Sie bzw. Ihre Organisation – völlig unabhängig von Größe oder Mitgliederzahl – Näheres über VOICE und die Möglichkeiten der Teilnahme an diesem Europäischen Projekt erfahren wollen, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte!

Begriffe und Definitionen

Sexualisierte Gewalt

Sexualisierte Gewalt beschreibt alle Handlungen von TäterInnen, die, um ihre eigene Sexualität und Gefühle von Macht zu befriedigen, andere Menschen beeinflussen oder schädigend auf sie einwirken. Dabei werden das Autoritätsverhältnis und die Abhängigkeit von Kindern und Jugendlichen ausgenutzt und Grenzen ignoriert.
Derartige persönliche Grenzverletzungen können durch Worte, Bilder und Gesten sowie durch sonstige Handlungen mit und ohne direktem Körperkontakt erfolgen.
