Panathlon International participated on 30 November 2022 in the second edition of the Forum on Sport and Human Rights held in a hybrid format in Strasbourg and online, organised by the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) of the Council of Europe.
During the Forum on Sport and Human Rights, representatives from governments, the sports movement and NGOs, as well as academics, journalists, athletes and experts, presented the situation in their areas of expertise, discussing recurring challenges and shared ideas and solutions for moving forward.
The topic of human rights in and through sport has been the focus of the last three Council of Europe Conferences of Ministers of Sport and remains an increasingly topical issue. The World Cup in Qatar is a testimony.
Many topics were discussed, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, gender, governance, the legal framework, etc. . In the afternoon four workshops were held on Sportsmen's Freedom of Expression, Freedom of the Press, Gender and Media Equality and Combating Hate Speech in Sport.
A final resolution will be drafted soon.
