The Northern Ireland Sport & Human Rights Forum was established in May 2019, coinciding with the launch of the Declaration on Sport and Human Rights – drafted by the Commission and the Northern Ireland Commonwealth Games Council.

The Forum has been established as a multi-stakeholder platform to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and good practice on sport and human rights issues. It is member-led, with annual surveys to decide the topics of future meetings.

The current chair is Conal Heatley, Business and Operations Manager at Commonwealth Games Northern Ireland.

  • Tackling violence against women and girls

  • Women and girls in sport
