Your Voice – Your Life – Your Truth
This is the message from Karen Leach, a former swimmer from Ireland and one of the VOICE-ambassadors dedicated to our project. The VOICE-project aims to combat sexual violence in European Sport through the voices of those affected. The research team conducted various in-depth interviews with individuals who had experienced sexual violence in the field of sport.

 

The final conference will present the results of our study together with new educational resources developed for the European sport community. These resources, aimed at enhancing child protection, safeguarding and integrity in sport, are underpinned by the accounts given by our participants.

 

The conference is aimed at interested stakeholders in the field of science, sport policy, organized sport, coaching in sport and victim support.
