International Olympic Committee: Sport Against Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV)
In 2007, The UN refugee agency and the IOC reaffirmed their long-standing cooperation and agreed to work together to engage young men and women in sport projects that address sexual gender based violence. Initial projects will be implemented in Panama, Venezuela, Uganda and Kenya and will include interactive training sessions that combine sports instruction and sexual and gender based violence awareness training.
