About this project

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The project aims at improving gender equality and helping fight gender-based violence in sports. The main activities include the following: a quick assessment of the situation through an online study that will be the foundation for the development of a strategic communication campaign and advocacy for new policies; development and dissemination of a Guide with Rules for Prevention and Fight against Gender-based Violence in Sports, coordinated and approved by the Ministry of Youth and Sports; training workshops for sports journalists (50 from across Bulgaria) and an information campaign aimed at athletes (5000), sports clubs (100+) and the general public (500.000). The partners will unite their efforts to reach different target groups including young people (over 80% of the active training young people), women from vulnerable groups (lesbian, bisexual, transgender women, the target group of <em>Bilitis</em> Foundation). The special events are expected to involve directly more than 500 people and the social media campaign can reach more than 50 000 users. In the long term, the project will improve self-regulation of sports organizations to prevent discrimination and hate speech based on gender stereotypes, raise intolerance of people training sports, professional athletes and other stakeholders towards gender-based violence in sports.</span></span></p>
