WFPL PRESS CORPS, "New Innovation System Needs Existing Existing Practices"
WFPL PRESS CORPS (LEE CHEE-SOO, CEO, Chairman of the Internet Newspaper Association of Korea), a media organization affiliated with the WORLD FEDERATION OF POWER LEADERS(WFPL)(www.wfple.org) announced on 21st that he is strongly condemning the sexual crimes of the sports world.I strongly condemn it. "
WFPL PRESS CORPS lamented in a statement that day "The sport's "ME TOO" is shocking as it is revealed to the outside. Miss Shim, a short-track speed skater, filed a complaint against Mr. Cho coach for physical violence and sexual assault, who has leading her since elementary school days. In addition, the voice of the victims in various sports sectors has been added, creating a strong backlash."
WFPL PRESS CORPS claimed "The athletes village, which is optimized to concentrate on sports, is a must for joint training. In particular, young players are totally depend on their leaders, coaches and other leaders. In a strictly hierarchical organization, leaders are not only training their athletes, but also their life and sometimes their parents' role, and examine the athletes' training process and their lives in general."
Also WFPL PRESS CORPS pointed out the problem "Even if the victim comes out, it is not easy for the athletes who are afraid to leave within the athletic village to declare internal abandonment. It is not a separate action from the perpetrator who has come back to the victims who have been courageous. It is the return of the perpetrator who received the disciplinary punishment. As if command and discipline should be aligned, this is a structure where even the silence of victims is forced."
Finally, WFPL PRESS CORPS strongly urged to the government and the National Assembly " inspect the actual situation of sexual crimes throughout the athletic field with the occasion of this incident, and establish a sports system that prioritizes human rights over records."
The following is the full text of the statement, "Strongly Condemn Sex Crimes in Sports" released by WFPL PRESS CORPS.
The sport's "ME TOO" is shocking as it is revealed to the outside. Miss Shim, a short-track speed skater, filed a complaint against Mr. Cho coach for physical violence and sexual assault, who has leading her since elementary school days. In addition, the voice of the victims in various sports sectors has been added, creating a strong backlash.
The athletes village, which is optimized to concentrate on sports, is a must for joint training. In particular, young players are totally depend on their leaders, coaches and other leaders.
In a strictly hierarchical organization, leaders are not only training their athletes, but also their life and sometimes their parents' role, and examine the athletes' training process and their lives in general.
However, even if anyone exercises is in the realm of dreams, as this case shows, the insides have structural problems that can lead to horrific events such as violence and sex crimes due to their closeness.
Even if the victim comes out, it is not easy for the athletes who are afraid to leave within the athletic village to declare internal abandonment. It is not a separate action from the perpetrator who has come back to the victims who have been courageous. It is the return of the perpetrator who received the disciplinary punishment. As if command and discipline should be aligned, this is a structure where even the silence of victims is forced.
In the sports world, there is a sexist crime prevention education and eradication manual. However, if there is a problem, the upper lines worried that the noise would go out have been coped repeatedly. The victims of the priesthood were locked up in record-oriented, apprenticeship education such as medals and rankings and they had to suffer unimaginable disadvantages.
Now, the sports world must boldly reform the existing practice, which has focused on ranking and medal color. In order to receive the love of the people, it is necessary to reduce the blindness in the shadows and become a sport in which the passion of the athletes is recognized more popularly.
Advanced countries such as Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States already have regional close-knit sports such as sports clubs and schools. Many people are releasing as national athletes, supporting open education and skills for sports enthusiasts. It is not unfamiliar for a person with a job to be a national player to compete in international competitions. Students do not get touched by camp training but grow up to become elite athletes with free training.
If the incident occurred, the way of coping with these countries is significantly different from that of our country. Last year, the chairman of the US Olympic Committee, the president of the United States Gymnastics Association, and senior sportsmen resigned at the same time as the case of Larry Nasharuchi, who assaulted and abused many American gymnasts for 30 years. It was a decision to give priority to the human rights of the victims rather than to the organization.
Therefore, WFPL PRESS CORPS urges the following to inspect the actual situation of sexual crimes throughout the athletic field with the occasion of this incident, and to establish a sports system that prioritizes human rights over records.
The following:
1. The government to prevent the vicious cycle of human rights abuses from repeating should set up a nationwide task force to solve sports violence and sexual crimes. The perpetrator should file a complaint with the prosecution and the police and immediately withdraw.
2. The government punishes those who have concealed or reduced violence and sexual offenses on the principle of irrelevance without any organization, such as sports organizations, associations, clubs, etc. At the same time, reform the Korean Sports Council and the Ice Federation.
3. The government should ensure that the victim surveillance system works, including the introduction of sexual violence prevention lecturers and the placement of at least one female leader in the women's team and operate an anonymous reporting center so that it can recognize early on when a crime is committed.
4. The government should prepare measures to prevent victims by protecting victims and providing appropriate compensation systems. Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism • Ministry of Gender Equality and Family • The Ministry of Education should form a consortium to prevent and prevent damage such as sexual crimes.
5. The government should improve the closed sports training system of domestic sports and the abolition of the elite oriented structure, and take measures to eradicate human rights violations.
6. The National Assembly should deal with the bill as soon as the amendment of the "Sexual Violence Prevention and Victim Protection Act" passed by the National Assembly Women and Family Committee in 2018 is tied to the Legislation and Judiciary Committee.
