Focusing on how the worlds of sport and human rights are coming together to achieve positive change in the lives of people around the world, we will be hearing a range of perspectives - from athletes, sports bodies, governments, trade unions, sponsors and broadcasters – on where sport is getting it right, and where there is still work to be done.
Sport has a unique power to be a force for good in society. Join us for this new podcast on how sport can help shape a world that respects the dignity and rights of all people.
