Raising awareness of parents and trainers

The association KIMI – Prevention of Sexual Abuse against Children – specializes in preventing sexual abuse in sports

Our aim is to raise awareness among children, young adults, parents and coaches and to establish simple rules for safe practices in sport. KIMI aims to protect adolescents from sexual assault and adults from false suspicions. KIMI members are networked internationally and work in cooperation with renowned organisations. They are trained in pedagogy and psychology and are experienced in grassroots and high-performance sport.

KIMI is a registered non-profit association.

Be prepared and know what to do

KIMI members hold workshops in schools to encourage children and young adults to articulate their boundaries with others. In order to sensitise parents, teachers, trainers and officials to the issue, KIMI experts take part in discussion rounds, give lectures and raise awareness in the media.
