The study — titled "Violence Against Women and Girls in Sports" — revealed that by March 30, 2024, more than 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports.
The report was compiled by Reem Alsalem, the U.N.'s special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, and presented to the General Assembly earlier this month. Last week, Alsalem also invited a group of female athletes and advocates to the U.N. Headquarters for a panel event highlighting the risks of allowing trans-identifying males both to compete with women and to share their private spaces.
