<description>Since its inception in 2017, the U.S. Center for SafeSport has received over 4,600 reports of alleged abuse in sport and the center continues to work diligently to provide resources and resolution for survivors of abuse across the 52 sports embodied by the Olympic movement and the United Stated Olympic and Paralympic Committee. There is a rough estimate that more than 18+ million people are involved in sports that fall under Safe Sport’s jurisdictional umbrella and that number only continues to increase over time, making the support, understanding, and education surrounding the U.S. Center for Safe Sport’s purpose and mission more important than ever.</description>

<description>‘You need to put horses back at the centre of our sport, as subject and not as object.’ These were the wise words spoken by Piero D’Inzeo to Eleonora Ottaviani, director of the IJRC, shortly before his death in 2014. D’Inzeo’s comment sprang from a conversation about the situation of jumping today and the business interests which lie at its heart. Anxious about the future, they were discussing possible solutions. ¨I promised him I would find a way, but how exactly was I to achieve this? ¨ says Eleonora Ottaviani, who had numerous perplexities about how to tackle this delicate and weighty topic within the world of jumping.</description>
