where we stand
We work hard to build the case for a fairer, more equitable global sporting ecosystem, one that caters to everyone, regardless of who someone is, where they might come from, or what their background might be.
Our positions on both broad and specific issues are based first and foremost on the belief that all people are born equal in status and rights, in and out of sport. Within sport, we fundamentally contend that equal rights, status and equal access to individual fulfilment are fundamental to any contemporary notion of sport existing for the common good.
