Cybersecurity & Mental Wellbeing for Women in Sport
Practical Toolkit for Safer and Healthier Sport Environments
We are proud to present the Cybersecurity & Mental Wellbeing for Women in Sport Toolkit — a practical resource developed to support safer, more inclusive and digitally responsible sport environments across Europe.
Women in sport increasingly face online harassment, digital abuse, privacy violations and psychological pressure linked to social media exposure. At the same time, sport organisations often lack structured tools to address these risks proactively.
This Toolkit provides practical guidance to:
- Strengthen digital safety and cybersecurity awareness
- Prevent and respond to online harassment and abuse
- Promote mental wellbeing and psychological resilience
- Support coaches, administrators and athletes in creating respectful digital cultures
- Integrate safeguarding principles into everyday sport practice
Designed for:
- Women athletes (grassroots and professional)
- Coaches and trainers
- Sport administrators and club managers
- Sport organisations and federations
