In this webinar, NOC*NSF Director Gerard Dielessen will explain how a joint line of responsibility on the topic with the national sports federations has been established, following a national survey on sexual harassment and abuse in sport (2017) and in cooperation with the Dutch Government, and what measures this has led to. Then, Nicolette van Veldhoven will present the latest prevalence figures for transgressive behaviour in Dutch sports (emotional, physical and sexual) and the pedagogical approach that will support prevention at clubs working closely with the national federations.
