Before the last quarter, reports of violence in sport increase in 2024

As of September 30, while the year 2024 is not over, the Signal-Sports unit has already received more reports than in 2023. Thus, 396 people have been implicated, compared to 377 in 2023. “The perimeter of the cell was extended to other types of violence,” Fabienne Bourdais delivered by way of explanation on Tuesday at the CNOSF. The Director of Sports spoke as part of the 5th national convention for the prevention of violence in sport. While the Signal-Sports unit was previously dedicated to gender-based and sexual violence (SGBV), it now collects reports of psychological, moral and psychological violence. As a result, 66% of reports now concern VSS, compared to 85% last year.
