GOALSCORE: What can sports do against gender violence?

Violence against women remains a major social problem, worldwide and across the EU. In an effort to take active prevention, GOALSCORE and its partners believe sports and more specifically football, can play an important role in tackling gender violence among female adolescents (18-21).

Aiming to create a methodology to fight gender violence in sports, GOALSCORE aims to provide coaches and females in football teams with the awareness and skills to address gender violence, as well as to adapt the codes of conduct of football associations to favor societal behavior and ultimately promote gender equality with the power of sport.
