DIVERSITY

Equality and safety are of paramount importance to the federations and FISO does not tolerate hate speech or actions. Behaviour counter to principles of sport will result in sanctions/exclusion/disqualification of individuals and or organisations.

The purpose of diversity guidelines is to encourage inclusivity and fairness for all athletes, non-binary or not. The policies of World Obstacle regarding transgender athletes follow the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommendations and are under advice of the World Obstacle Diversity Committee. The IOC Framework on Fairness, Inclusion and Non-discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sex variations provides a guideline for event producers and national federations.
