Sport has long been a powerful platform for promoting fair play, integrity, and inclusion (Opstoel et al., 2020). However, despite its positive potential, challenges persist. Gender-based violence remains a concern both on the field and within educational environments linked to sports (Alsarve & Strand, 2023). Additionally, systemic gender inequalities continue to limit access, recognition, and safe spaces for athletes, coaches, professionals and students, highlighting the pressing need for strategic and coordinated efforts.  

Objective 

Raise awareness among students, staff, and the sports ecosystem about gender equality and gender-based violence in academia and sports.Â
