Experts from across the sporting, political, and social worlds have this week joined forces and pledged their support to the groundbreaking United Against Online Abuse coalition.
Gathered at the FIA’s headquarters in Paris, panelists and attendees from key institutions and social platforms including FIFA, UNESCO, Peace and Sport, and TikTok, worked together to shape the coalition’s mission and drive towards the goal of eradicating online hate.
Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, French Government Minister for Sport and the Olympic and Paralympic Games of France, sent a message of support to start the conference, stating: “Performance [in sport] cannot be at any price. The well-being of the athletes, their development, and their serenity as human beings… must be a priority. That is why my ministry has signed the United Against Online Abuse charter.”
Guests heard firsthand the experiences of top athletes, including Olympian and taekwondo champion Pascal Gentil, and rally driver Burcu Çetinkaya.
