What Can You Do?
📢 If you experience or witness sexual violence in sport, you do not have to face it alone.

Getting support is a step towards safety.

📢 KNOW THE SIGNS. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. KNOW WHERE TO GET SUPPORT.
Sport should be a space where athletes can grow, connect, thrive and feel empowered — safely and with respect.
As part of the – Sports Against Sexual Violence Awareness Campaign, we are sharing a new series of practical awareness posters based on the RISE booklet “Step-by-Step Guidelines: What to do in Case You Experience Sexual Violence in Sports.”
The posters highlight key information every athlete should know:
🔸 Recognise warning signs and inappropriate behaviours
🔸 Know what to do if you experience or witness sexual violence
🔸 Set and protect your personal boundaries
🔸 Know your rights as an athlete
🔸 Be an active ally and support others
🔸 Know where and how to seek support
Sexual violence in sport can take different forms. Recognising the signs, knowing your rights and having access to trusted support are important steps towards prevention and safer sporting environments.

Every athlete deserves to feel safe, respected, supported and heard.
📖 The complete Step-by-Step Guidelines are available in English, Greek, German, Italian, Spanish and Bulgarian on the RISE website.

🎥 Awareness can be the first step towards change.

The RISE Awareness-Raising Videos bring important conversations about sexual violence in sport closer to athletes and the people around them - from what to do if it happens, to how bystanders can act, and how young athletes can be part of the change.

Developed within RISE – Empowered Above Sexual Violence in Sports, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

🛡️ A safe sport environment is about more than preventing harm. It is about valuing athletes as people.

The RISE Handbook: How to Create a Safe and Healthy Environment Which Values Athletes as Human Beings provides practical guidance for sports organisations, coaches and other stakeholders on building environments based on safety, respect, dignity and athlete well-being.

🛡️ Safe sport starts with clear boundaries.

What behaviour is acceptable in sport - and what is not? And who is responsible for creating a safe environment?

The RISE Guide: Standards of Conduct and Codes of Behaviour within Sport Contexts offers practical guidance for athletes, coaches, parents, volunteers and sports organisations, including ready-to-use sample Codes of Conduct.

Developed within RISE - Empowered Above Sexual Violence in Sports, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

🛡️ What should you do when sexual violence happens in sport?

Who should you tell? How should you react? How can you support the person affected? And what should a sports organisation have in place before something happens?

The new RISE Protocol: Identification, Reporting and Support to Victims of Sexual Violence in Sports gives practical guidance for dealing with these difficult situations.

It looks at how to recognise possible signs of abuse, report concerns safely, protect the person affected and make sure they receive the support they need.

The Protocol was developed within RISE - Empowered Above Sexual Violence in Sports, a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, working to make sport a safer environment for everyone.

For many athletes, it starts before adulthood.

🚨 59.7% of athletes who experienced contact sexual violence said the first incident happened before they turned 18.

Even more concerning, 31.6% experienced it before the age of 13.

These findings underline why safeguarding cannot begin only when something goes wrong. Safe environments, clear boundaries, awareness and trusted reporting mechanisms need to be part of sport from the very beginning.

RISE (Rise Empowered Above Sexual Violence in Sports) is an Erasmus+ Sport project bringing together partners from six European countries to prevent sexual violence in sport through research, education and practical safeguarding tools.

The findings come from the RISE international research on the prevalence of sexual violence in sport, examining athletes' experiences across the participating European countries.
