4:00 PM KYIV– Daria Gerasymchuk, Advisor – Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights and Child Rehabilitation;
– Serhiy Tymofeyev, Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine.


All in person.
Launch of the national information campaign “Sports Without Violence”

Topics for discussion: 
– The global state of child safety in sports and experience in implementing safeguarding protocols in sports; 
– The goals and tools of the “Sport Without Violence” campaign; 
– Creating a system for monitoring and protecting children’s rights in sports clubs and schools;
– The role of the coach as a mentor and protector, not just a results-oriented instructor.


Why is this important? 
Sports should be a safe space for development, character building, and physical recovery. However, youth sports are not immune to the risks of psychological or physical pressure. The “Sport Without Violence” campaign aims to teach coaches, parents, and young athletes to recognize signs of violence, speak openly about problems, and foster a culture of zero tolerance for cruelty.
