Harassment & GBV reporting in sport: protect your athletes
A dedicated channel for federations, leagues and sports clubs
Internal reporting platform for gender-based violence, harassment and hazing in sport. Helps your federation or club meet the obligations of the French law of 8 March 2024 and the law of 2 March 2022. Protect your athletes — especially minors — and secure your organisation's liability.
Violence in Sport by the Numbers

Barriers Specific to the Sport World
Why victims stay silent — and how to break the cycle
Fear of exclusion
Athletes fear being dropped from selection, training camps or the club. The power imbalance with coaches silences reporting.
Culture of silence
The French parliamentary inquiry report of January 2024 describes a 'systemic omerta' across many federations.
Protection of minors
71% of victims are minors at the time of the facts. Without an adapted process, intervention arrives too late to protect them.
Organisation liability
Failure to report exposes directors to administrative and criminal sanctions under the French Sports Code (L. 322-1 et seq.).
A Solution Built for Federations and Sports Clubs
From the athlete's first word to documented closure, Evidencia handles the full internal cycle, complementing existing public reporting mechanisms
Dedicated channel for athletes, parents and witnesses
A 24/7 channel, anonymous, built for minors and their legal guardians. Accessible to every profile: athletes, parents, coaches, witnesses, officials.
Structured, traceable internal investigation
Guided investigation workflow, secure evidence collection, immutable audit log. Every step documented to meet disciplinary and judicial requirements.
Reports ready for the competent authorities
Evidencia documents every step of the internal investigation and produces exportable reports that your federation can transmit, on its own terms and through its own procedures, to the competent authorities: Signal-Sports, the DRAJES, federal disciplinary committees, or the public prosecutor. Evidencia is NOT connected to these services and performs no automatic transmission — your organisation remains in control of the decision and the channel.
Victim protection and post-report follow-up
Documented interim measures, referenced psychological support, protection against retaliation, liaison with federal disciplinary committees.
