A ‘Bill Of Rights’ Aims To Keep Child Athletes Safe From Sex Abuse As Olympics Begin
A ‘Bill Of Rights’ Aims To Keep Child Athletes Safe From Sex Abuse As Olympics BeginAfter the Larry Nassar scandal, advocates are calling on sports groups, gyms and more to commit to preventing child sexual abuse by adopting the set of principles.
Child advocates are sending a loud and clear message ahead of the Olympics: Every child has the right to be safe from sexual abuse while playing the sport they love. The Child Athlete Bill of Rights, an advocacy campaign introduced Friday, hopes to ensure that every minor playing a sport can do so safely.
The campaign calls on sports organizations, local gyms, clubs, training facilities, camps and more to commit to preventing child sexual abuse by adopting the set of principles included in the Child Athlete Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights has four guiding principles:
- Children have the right to say no at any time
- Children have the right to disclose to an adult when they feel uncomfortable
- Children need to have the space and support to express their feelings
- Children and their caregivers need to be educated about what abuse is and how they can report it
