This statement welcomes the report on the right to participate in sports by Alexandra Xanthaki, the United Nations Special Rapporteur in the field of Cultural Rights. From the elite athlete level to the community level, where the majority of participation in sports lies, we affirm that all people, including trans, gender diverse, and intersex persons, must be able to realize their human right to participate in sports as an essential element of cultural life.
