(Geneva, December 4, 2020) \u2013 Women track and field athletes, largely from the Global South, are abused and harmed by \u201csex testing\u201d regulations, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The regulations target women in running events between 400 meters and one mile, and compel women they target to undergo medical interventions or be forced out of competition.<\/p>\n

The 120-page report, \u201c\u2018They\u2019re Chasing Us Away from Sport\u2019: Human Rights Violations in Sex Testing of Elite Women Athletes,\u201d documents the experiences of more than a dozen women athletes from the Global South who have been affected by sex testing regulations. Human Rights watch found that global regulations that encourage discrimination, surveillance, and coerced medical intervention on women athletes result in physical and psychological injury and economic hardship. The International Olympic Committee \u2013 the supreme body in global sports \u2013 is developing guidelines to address human rights violations caused by sex testing policies. <\/p>\n
