Abstract
With hundreds of millions of individuals engaging in sports worldwide, the prevalence of abuse within sporting contexts poses a significant concern. Studies indicate that a staggering number of athletes, spanning various ages and levels of competition, will experience some form of abuse during their sporting careers. In response, there is an urgent need to establish a supportive, inclusive global community of sports safety professionals dedicated to combating this issue. We advocate for the creation of a unified framework aimed at disseminating knowledge, increasing accountability, and fostering a culture of safety and respect within the global sports community. By leveraging international collaboration and promoting proactive measures, such as education and policy reform, we can work towards creating a safer environment that prioritizes the well-being of athletes and upholds the integrity of sports worldwide.
