La prévention en faveur des enfants (“child safeguarding”) dans la pratique sportive a été longtemps négligée. Lors d’accidents, les réactions classiques étaient de nier les faits et leur importance ou de faire porter la responsabilité à la victime. Ayant laissé de nombreuses personnes isolées et affectées, agir pour la prévention des violences est nécessaire. Pour cela, des mesures doivent être prises, pour enquêter sur les incidents et des politiques doivent être menées en amont pour éviter qu’ils ne se produisent.

Abstract
The article reports on the first large-scale prevalence study on interpersonal violence against children in sport in the Netherlands and Belgium. Using a dedicated online questionnaire, over 4,000 adults prescreened on having participated in organized sport before the age of 18 were surveyed with respect to their experiences with childhood psychological, physical, and sexual violence while playing sports. Being the first of its kind in the Netherlands and Belgium, our study has a sufficiently large sample taken from the general population, with a balanced gender ratio and wide variety in socio-demographic characteristics. The survey showed that 38% of all respondents reported experiences with psychological violence, 11% with physical violence, and 14% with sexual violence. Ethnic minority, lesbian/gay/bisexual (LGB) and disabled athletes, and those competing at the international level report significantly more experiences of interpersonal violence in sport. The results are consistent with rates obtained outside sport, underscoring the need for more research on interventions and systematic follow-ups, to minimize these negative experiences in youth sport.
