SIGN OUR PETITION TO DEMAND ACTION: The IOC Must Adopt New Rules Banning Convicted Child Rapists from Competing in the Olympic Games

The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision to allow convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games is a betrayal of the trust placed in the IOC by athletes, spectators, and the global community. 

Sign the petition below to join us in demanding the IOC take immediate corrective action to adopt strict policies that prevent convicted pedophiles from participating in the Olympics.

“As a society, we must send a clear and unequivocal message that child sexual abuse is intolerable and will be met with the utmost consequences. This means holding abusers accountable and ensuring they do not have the opportunity to regain positions of influence and trust, particularly in high-profile events like the Olympics. The IOC, as a leading international organization, has a moral obligation to uphold these standards and set an example for others to follow. The world is watching.”
