Everybody has the right to participate in sport.
From removing all forms of discrimination to improving health and education outcomes, sport is ideal for promoting human rights. Sport must protect rights by creating a safe, inclusive, and fair environment.
TRUST Ireland promotes 'sport as it should be'.
TRUST Ireland promotes a broad understanding of sport, including sport for all, physical play, recreation, dance, organised, casual, competitive, traditional, and indigenous sports and games in their diverse forms.
In collaboration with key partners, TRUST is developing an educational toolkit for sports practitioners in schools, colleges, clubs and the wider community, providing human rights teaching resources. TRUST Ireland is working with stakeholders at governmental, national and local levels to raise awareness of the potential role that sport can play in promoting human rights, particularly when addressing the needs of minority groups.
So when it comes to advancing human rights in and through sports, think TRUST Ireland… Sport as it should be!
