For better engagement from the start, ask participants to write on a sticky note a single word that comes to mind when they are thinking of GBV in general and GBV in sports. ○ Use a PowerPoint presentation that you can find in the beginning of the Toolkit- Understanding Gender-Based Violence_A Sport Perspective in order to deepen the understanding and the knowledge on the topic. ● Step 4 - Discussion (25 minutes) ○ Discussion about previously prepared case studies and real-life scenarios involving the topic of GBV in sport context. (Examples: Dark and dangerous shadow of stalking hovers over growth of women's sport | Reuters, US Biathlon officials ignored sexual harassment and abuse of female racers for decades, athletes say, NWSL’s sexual misconduct scandal costs league $5 million in ‘landmark settlement’) ○ After each scenario, guide the group through discussion about the emotions, the potential consequences, and effective intervention strategies. ○ Guiding questions for facilitator: ■ How do you think the victim in this situation felt? ■ If you were in the victim’s position, what would be your immediate reaction? ■ What specific type of GBV is being demonstrated in this scenario? (e.g., stalking, harassment, coercion, assault) ■ How does GBV impact an athlete’s performance, career, and mental health? ■ What immediate actions could have been taken to stop or prevent the abuse? ● Step 5 - Reflection (10 minutes) ○ Facilitate a debriefing session where participants reflect on what they’ve learned and commit to action. ○ Sit in a circle to foster a sense of safety and openness, pass a ball around, allowing each person to share one key takeaway or an action they can take to combat GBV in sports. ○ Wrap up by summarising the main points of the lesson and distribute a self-assessment survey - Understanding GBV in Sport that you can find in the last part of the Toolkit to gather reflections.
