Nina Sølvbergs mål med studien var å kartlegge seksuell trakassering og overgrep (STO) i og utenfor idretten. Elevene besvarte et spørreskjema ved to måletidspunkt (T1 og T2). Forekomsten av seksuell trakassering og overgrep (STO) var høy blant unge eliteutøvere, breddesutøvere og referansestudenter, og halvparten av de som rapporterte STO opplevde det igjen i løpet av ett år. Jenter rapporterte mer STO enn gutter og varslet oftere om sine opplevelser enn gutter.

This manifesto is signed by 21 international scholars who are members of the International Socio-Cultural research group on Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (ISCWAG) and researchers associated with ISCWAG.

The organizers are interested in bringing together scholars who are interested in issues of gender equality in sport.

The #MeToo movement reveals a cultural and political climate in which women are devalued and disbelieved, in which institutions actively look the other way in pursuit of profit or status, and, importantly, in which women are increasingly striking back against patriarchal capitalism.We seek to consider manuscripts that relate to the Larry Nassar case directly, and/or in a broader sense.

Why has sexual violation by powerful men in sports (recently gymnastics, previously hockey)—covered up, denied, suppressed, and repressed for so long—become a powerful theme in the American media since the fall of 2017?  Why are coaches, trainers, and doctors, whose predecessors usually got away with sexual assault, now being exposed, shamed, forced to resign, and convicted for unwanted touching and worse?

Founded in 2005, the working group aims for a transnational and interdisciplinary exchange of researchers with an interest in the study of sport and gender. The program of the 11th annual meeting focuses on sexism, discrimination, sexual harassment and violence studies in the field of Physical Education and sport, LGBTQ+, as well as leadership and coaches' perspectives.

Violence, including sexual, physical, psychological abuse and neglect, threatens not only the ethical and social basis of sport but also the physical, emotional and mental health of the athlete. The Safe Sport International (SSI) conference to addresses research evidence, policy responses, preventive strategies and the growing demand for safe sport practice to secure sport as a place of safety for all athletes.

Coach-athlete sexual relationships (CASR) and sexual harassment and abuse (SHA) in sport can profoundly impact athletes’ welfare and performance. Yet, it is often ignored due to sensitivity, secrecy, and lack of knowledge. This is the first thorough study of SHA in sport and legal, consensual, same-sex CASR in Sweden.
