Youth & Sports Indicator 28: Existence of regulations and procedures that address VAWG in youth centres, clubs, and stadiums.

Media header default image

Apart from domestic space, violence in public spaces must also be prevented and addressed, but also in spaces of leisure such as clubs, stadiums, or youth centres.

Specific measures must be adopted and adapted for each type of environment: measures taken to address violence in the workplace for instance, are completely different than measures taken to address violence that occurs in stadiums.

There is no specific regulation in consideration of each kind of these spaces in the index countries.
