At the initiative of environmentalist deputies, a website has been accessible since Wednesday September 13 in order to “illuminate the work of the commission of inquiry into failures in the sports movement”.
A platform to collect testimonies from victims of violence in the sporting world, called “Balance ton sport», was put online this Wednesday, September 13, as part of a commission of inquiry of the National Assembly. “If you have been, or are currently, the victim of violence, harassment or discrimination in sports, you can testify here,” displays the site’s home page. The writings can remain anonymous.
This platform “aims to support the momentum for freedom of speech and to shed light on the work of the commission of inquiry into failures in the sports movement”, launched in July at the request of environmentalists who underline, in their press release, that revelations of “sexual and sexist violence” have affected “almost all disciplines”.
“We receive a number of testimonies and messages from people who wish to speak about situations of violence experienced within clubs, licenses and federations. This is a sign that the need to speak, and moreover to be listened to, remains urgent,” argued environmentalist MP Sabrina Sebaihi, rapporteur for this committee.
Its work “cannot be done without fully listening to the citizens affected by this violence,” added MP Béatrice Bellamy (Horizons, presidential majority), president of the commission and associated with the launch of the platform.
The testimonies will be consultable by the 30 MPs who are members of the investigative body, who will make recommendations at the end of their work, which should last a maximum of six months.
In addition, victims can make reports to the address [email protected], call 119, the national telephone reception service for children in danger, or 3919, the helpline for women victims of violence.
