Introduce whistleblower hotline for athletes to report sexual abuse

BELIAWANIS MCA would like to propose a whistleblower hotline to be helmed by either the Youth and Sports Ministry or the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry for athletes to lodge a complaint if their grievances within their respective sports bodies have not been addressed adequately, were summarily dismissed, or completely ignored.

This whistleblower hotline must assure athletes who are subject to sexual abuse or bullying by their coaches, managers, physicians or physiotherapists of full confidentiality when filing their reports. It should also assist the athlete in lodging a police report.
