More than 600 female athletes have lost nearly 900 medals to transgender people at various competitions, according to the study “Violence Against Women and Girls in Sport” published in a UN report.
The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-gender category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against male athletes.
An extensive report compiled by the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women and Girls, Reem Alsal, was presented to the UN General Assembly. The document does not specify at which sporting events the medals were won or over what period of time.
“According to the information received, by March 30, 2024, more than 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports”, – specified in the UN report.
Recall, earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Western ideas of the new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neocolonial system, manifesting its essence in the form of “hypocrisy, double standards and claims”.
