NOWSPAR is concerned about the well-being of sports participants especially girls and women who are particularly vulnerable. Sexual harassment and abuse is prevalent in football and across the sports ecosystem. We are committed to providing resources and tools to guide organisations who want to enhance safeguarding and protection of their members.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n
