Paving the Way for the Protection of Human Rights in Sports: The Case of Intersex and Transgender Female Athletes

In light of the foregoing, this book will explore the legal avenues available to intersex and transgender female athletes who experience discrimination based on their gender identity and sex characteristics in sports. It will examine how they can seek legal remedies for violations of their human rights under international human rights law, and provide guidance to legal practitioners and athletes on how to access judicial or quasi-judicial bodies in such situations. This is an important topic given the increasing attention being paid to the rights of intersex and transgender individuals, and the need to ensure that they are not unfairly excluded from participating in sports competitions.
