Prevention of Harassment and abuse in sport Background information

4 IOC Commissions support the PHAS initiatives, including the IOC Athletes and Athletes Entourage commissions. Each of these Commissions are represented in the IOC PHAS Working Group Chaired by HRH Prince Feisal.

HRH Prince Feisal Yelena Isinbayeva Dr Carlo Bagutti IOC Athletes’ Commission IOC Athletes’ Entourage representative Commission representative

The IOC PHAS initiatives started in 2004 Harassment and abuse occurs worldwide

• In all sports disciplines • At all levels of participation

Why is this? Sport is a microcosm of society, perpetuated by: • Lack of education – what constitutes harassment and abuse? • Hierarchical nature of sport • Win at all costs mentality • Lack of safeguarding policies and procedures Harassment and abuse Key initiatives

The IOC Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games-Time Frameworks Implemented for the first time at Rio and Buenos Aires. Cases can be reported to the Safeguarding Officer who will be at every edition of the Olympic and Youth Olympic Games

IOC Athlete Safeguarding Toolkit To assist IFs and NOCs to implement their own Safeguarding policies and procedures

Educational courses and materials Available on Athlete365 What can we do?

Everyone has the right to safe sport, and a responsibility

We can: • Educate ourselves in this area, • Use our voice to ensure that all sports organisations implement policies and procedures, • Recognise that the onus to report does not lie solely on the victim, • Witnessing harassment and abuse and not reporting it can further silence those who are affected by it.

Why IPACS?

• The Athletes deserve corruption-free sport: • Corruption-free competitions • Corruption-free sport organisations • Corruption is a crime. Thus, the fight against corruption is primarily the responsibility of Governments. Sport organisations are responsible for its prevention and also for taking proactive measures when a corruption case arises. • IPACS is a new initiative which aims to facilitate interaction on this crucial matter. IPACS in action

• Platform set up in 2017 for interactions between sports and Governments, with the support of inter-governmental agencies specialised in the fight against corruption for setting up pragmatic tools. • 3 Partners in IPACS: • Governments, responsible for law enforcement agencies (as of today, following the leadership of UK, 30 countries including Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Brazil, US, Canada, Germany, Italy, France) • Sports organisations, responsible for their sport (i.e. IOC, ANOC, GAISF, ASOIF, AOIWF, IPC, CGF) • Inter-governmental agencies, to support and facilitate the cooperation (UNODC, OECD-G20, Council of Europe)
