Out For The Win gives LGBTQIA+ athletes a powerful voice in the sports world. Everyone deserves to be able to be themselves in sports, but that reality is not there today for every LGBTQI+ youth or athlete. That’s why we actively pursue advocacy – decisively and connectively.

We engage with governments, sports federations and clubs. We raise barriers and exclusion, but also think constructively about solutions and policy. Because inclusion is not a luxury – it is the basis for a safe, fair and accessible sport for all.

đź’¬ What does that mean concretely?
We recently worked actively on the new action plan on gender and sexual diversity in sport, together with Sport Vlaanderen and Sportieq. Thanks to our participation, the voice of LGBTQIA+ athletes is also heard and taken into account at the policy level.

Together we make the sports sector a place of strength, connection and visibility.

INITIATIVES

We support projects that contribute to a more inclusive and safer sports sector as time allows. We are pleased that there are always promising initiatives going on behind the scenes at several sports organizations. Over the years, we have supported several initiatives and assisted in several small and larger projects. Some of the list below:

Campaign “Een hart voor de sport” by Sport Vlaanderen
Inclusive sport regulations at KLJ
Update of the gender scan at Sportieq
Awareness campaign World Cup Flanders Classic “Chasing the rainbow together”.

In addition, we also developed several manuals and tools, each of which should contribute to a more inclusive sports world where LGBTQIA+ athletes feel welcome and safe.
