Normalisation of violence in sport, like ‘tough love’ coaching, has discouraged children from speaking up, say experts.

Being called on to provide research evidence of the rise in domestic violence during major sports events is a privilege I don't take lightly.

850 researchers coming together to present on DV. It’s a global issue, will take a global response. I’m presenting on the correlation between major sports events & increase in incidents of DV & how we need a combined response across policy, health & justice
