All members have the right to participate in a safe and inclusive environment, free from abuse, harassment and discrimination.
On June 12, 2024, Rainbow Griffins Rugby Club announced the launch of a global study aimed at changing the way members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community are represented in the rugby community. The study was developed by a team of experts to ensure the training modules are effective in informing coaches, officials and players on how to create an inclusive rugby community.
If you are interested, your participation in the anonymous survey would be greatly appreciated. It will help the Rainbow Griffins Rugby Club create a supportive environment for players in the 2SLGBTQ+ community who are facing increased scrutiny in the current climate. This initiative would not have been possible without the support of Dr. Marianick Pichon, Lauren Wolman, John Paul Horn, and Ian Royer, Charles Abernathy, Myles Spencer, and Nathan Bombrys.
Greater inclusion is needed and can become a reality with your help. Simply click on the following link to participate: https://linktr.ee/rainbowgriffinsstudy
As we continue to work to make rugby a safe, inclusive and welcoming sport for all, we encourage our community to join us in continued education and learning. Below are a variety of resources.
