The consequences of gender policing in international professional sports have, in the last 20 years, had particular effects on the lives and careers of African women athletes, as they have been at the forefront of exposing the human rights abuses that have taken place under the guise of “gender eligibility” or “gender verification” policies. SportsAfrica Gender and Sexuality Working Group invites you to a panel discussion on Gender Policing in African Sporting Contexts. This webinar brings together a group of researchers, advocates and athletes in African sport to share their knowledge and expertise about questions of sex/gender policing and justice.
