What is sports justice?
Sports Justice is the right of every individual, regardless of gender, race, sexuality, socioeconomic status, or ability, to fully participate in sports and physical activity without facing discrimination, harassment, or systemic barriers. It encompasses the equitable distribution of resources, opportunities, and representation in all levels of sports, from grassroots to professional, ensuring that marginalized communities have the power and autonomy to define and achieve their goals within sports. Sports Justice recognizes the intersections of social, economic, and political contexts in shaping access and aims to dismantle structures of oppression that hinder participation and success in sports.
