Maldives Olympic Committee (MOC) in partnership with Advocating the Rights of Children (ARC) conducted a workshop for athletes on 9 April 2022. The 2-hour workshop was attended by athletes from Badminton, Basketball, Carrom, Chess, Handball, Netball, Swimming, Table Tennis and Tennis.
The purpose of the workshop was to create awareness among athletes on the Child Safeguarding Policy currently being developed and to get their input on the policy.
The Policy will provide protection to child athletes participating at Games, tournaments, events and programmes from abuse, neglect and harm. It will also help create a safe sporting environment for all child athletes taking part at MOC’s programmes, whether they participate as athletes, spectators or represent any other role.
