EGLSF, together with partner organisations ILGA-Europe, a EuroCentralAsian Lesbian* Community (EL*C), Organisation Intersex International Europe (OII Europe) and TGEU, have just released a report on the experiences of LBTI women in sports based on a submission made to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) earlier in 2021 with the objective to support the PACE in its formulation of the report on “The fight for a level playing field – ending discrimination against women in the world of sport” and a consequent resolution.
The data and information collected revealed the specific situations and barriers that LBTI women face in sport, while discrimination and violence against them remains largely unknown or not visible. The report urges decision-makers, stakeholders, and sports leaders at every level to take into account the needs of LBTI women in sport and ensure the full respect of their fundamental rights.
Specific thanks to all of the EGLSF member clubs who contributed to the report. You can download and see the full report here.
