The Line We Don’t Cross
Join a global movement to protect children and young athletes from trafficking and exploitation in sport.
About The Campaign
What Is “The Line We Don’t Cross”?
Every day, thousands of young athletes dream of glory, only to find themselves prey to false promises, unlicensed agents, and dangerous trafficking networks. “The Line We Don’t Cross” is our promise: a zero-tolerance stand against exploitation in sport.
- The Challenge: Vulnerable youth are lured with fake trials and career guarantees.
- Our Mission: Mobilise federations, companies, clubs, coaches, parents and fans to adopt binding safeguarding standards.
- The Action: A simple yet powerful declaration that organisations will be able to sign. It commits your voice, your organisation and your community to never “cross the line”.
Join the Stakeholder Consultation Group
Currently, we are in the process of reviewing and improving the United Declaration on the Elimination of Child Exploitation in Sport.
Join to take part in collective action against child exploitation, abuse and trafficking in sport.
The consultation group will play a pivotal role in strengthening and solidifying a global declaration designed to bring about tangible change.
Register your interest now to ensure the declaration is representative of your sector.
Further information will be provided upon doing so.
