Eliminating Gender-Based Violence in Sport - Safeguarding Matters

Ann Craft Trust Head of Safeguarding in Sport Emma Gibson talks to Emma Thomas, a sport ethicist specialising in safeguarding in Muay Thai. Emma Thomas is a trustee board member at Safe Sport International. This stems from her experience as a Muay Thai fighter and a survivor of sexual violence in her sport. She is also the founder of Under the Ropes, an online platform promoting safe and inclusive cultures in Muay Thai, focusing on the elimination of gender-based violence. Emma recently completed her master’s degree in Sports Ethics & Integrity, and for her thesis, she conducted the world’s first study on women’s experiences of sexual harassment and abuse in Muay Thai. This involved trauma-informed interviews with survivors and an analysis of safeguarding policies implemented by federations.
