This 2020 edition of the Human Rights Defender magazine examines the Olympic movement through a human rights lens.
Athletes stand at the intersection of sport and human rights and this issue's editors wanted to capture their voices. They asked athletes from each Olympic ring, or continent, to tell their story in this edition. Experts in the human rights and sport space, many of whom are also Olympians, put these stories into context.
This edition demonstrates that athletes are humans first, and athletes second. It is critical that we ensure their Olympic dream does athletes no harm
