Human rights group calls for end to ‘abusive’ sex testing of female athletes – SBS News
Human Rights Watch says women are being targeted and harmed by regulations which are based on “arbitrary definitions of femininity and racial stereotypes”.
Female athletes from the so-called ‘Global South’ are being disproportionately targeted, “abused and harmed” under sex testing regulations, with some women pressured to undergo medically-unnecessary interventions or be forced out of competition, Human Rights Watch says.
A new report by the organisation documents the experiences of more than a dozen female athletes who were affected by the global regulations, which it says are based on arbitrary definitions of femininity and racial stereotypes.
