"This week the United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on violence against women
and girls presented a report detailing the violence experienced by women and
girls in sport globally.

The report provides a global snapshot of the abuse women athletes experience,
who is most likely to perpetrate the violence, and makes recommendations on
what should been done to promote safety of women and girls.

Off the back of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic games, where Australia cheered
on the record-breaking success of women athletes, the report should be a
wake-up call for Australian sports and clubs."
