Combat Against Gender-Based Violence in Sport (CoViS)
Abstract
The Proposal for Strategic Actions on Gender Equality in Sport of the European Commission defines gender-based violence as „violence based on a particular sex.“ This project focuses on education and raising awareness concerning gender-based violence in sports. This project emphasizes the fight against „sexual violence“ in sports through data collection, educator training, and awareness-raising. The project aims to: a) Improve information based on evidence regarding sexual harassment, abuse, exploitation, and sexual violence against young athletes in Europe, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece. b) Increase the number of national and European initiatives to combat sexual violence against young athletes c) To develop effective educational resources, tools, and recommendations for sports communities and sports institutions in Balkan countries and in Europe, with an emphasis in Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece to combat sexual violence against young athletes. d) Enhance the exchange of knowledge, information, and best practices in the prevention of sexual violence against young athletes via educational processes and dissemination materials. e) Increase awareness in Balkan countries and in Europe, with an emphasis in Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece of the need for sexual violence prevention. To achieve the desired results with the „CoViS“ initiative, the following steps will be taken: 1. Empirical evidence on sexual assault in Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece 2. Development and publication of instructional materials on social networks and in professional media; 3. Training for trainers and multipliers 4. Participating in public events and creating videos 5. Involvement of sports organizations and institutions in the development of educational actions and action plans to prevent sexual violence in real time. The project focuses on increasing awareness about and addressing the obstacles that prevent victims, particularly females, children and young athletes from reporting sexual violence.
Borba protiv rodno zasnovanog nasilja u sportu (Covis)
Apstrakt
Predlog strategijskih aktivnosti Evropske komisije o rodnoj ravnopravnosti u sportu definiše rodno zasnovano nasilje kao „nasilje zasnovano na određenom polu“. Ovaj projekat je usmeren na edukaciju i podizanje svesti o rodno zasnovanom nasilju u sportu. Fokus je posebno na borbi protiv seksualnog nasilja u sportu kroz prikupljanje podataka, obuku edukatora i aktivnosti usmerene na širenje svesti.
Ciljevi projekta su:
a) unaprediti naučno zasnovane informacije o seksualnom uznemiravanju, zlostavljanju, eksploataciji i seksualnom nasilju nad mladim sportistima u Evropi, sa posebnim osvrtom na Srbiju, Bugarsku i Grčku;
b) povećati broj nacionalnih i evropskih inicijativa za borbu protiv seksualnog nasilja nad mladim sportistima;
c) razviti efikasne edukativne resurse, alate i preporuke za sportske zajednice i sportske institucije u balkanskim zemljama i u Evropi – posebno u Srbiji, Bugarskoj i Grčkoj – radi suzbijanja seksualnog nasilja nad mladim sportistima;
d) unaprediti razmenu znanja, informacija i primera dobre prakse u oblasti prevencije seksualnog nasilja putem edukativnih procesa i distributivnih materijala;
e) povećati nivo svesti u balkanskim zemljama i u Evropi o potrebi prevencije seksualnog nasilja, sa naglaskom na Srbiju, Bugarsku i Grčku.
Da bi se postigli željeni rezultati u okviru inicijative „CoViS“, biće sprovedene sledeće aktivnosti:
- prikupljanje empirijskih podataka o seksualnom nasilju u Srbiji, Bugarskoj i Grčkoj;
- izrada i objavljivanje edukativnih materijala na društvenim mrežama i u stručnoj javnosti;
- obuka trenera i multiplikatora;
- učešće na javnim događajima i kreiranje video-materijala;
- uključivanje sportskih organizacija i institucija u razvoj edukativnih aktivnosti i akcionih planova za prevenciju seksualnog nasilja u realnom vremenu.
Projekat je posebno usmeren na podizanje svesti o preprekama koje žrtve – naročito žene, deca i mladi sportisti – sprečavaju da prijave slučajeve seksualnog nasilja, kao i na unapređenje mehanizama podrške.
