Clarification of terms

Discrimination is actions that directly or indirectly lead to unequal treatment on the basis of a person’s gender, disability, ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or other grounds for discrimination.

Racism is discrimination based on a person’s ethnicity, national origin, descent, skin color or similar.
It is the consequence of the action that determines whether it is discriminatory or racist, not the motive behind the action.

Sexual harassment and abuse: Sexual harassment means unwelcome sexual attention that is distressing to the person on whom the attention is directed.
Sexual assault means deceiving or forcing another person to engage in sexual activity that he or she does not want or is not developmentally able to consent to.

Violence and threats are defined in the Penal Code, and these definitions also form the basis for the understanding of what is punishable under sports legislation and regulations.
Violence can be defined as “any act directed at another person that harms, hurts, frightens or offends, causes that person to do something against his or her will or to stop doing something he or she wants”.

NSI’s own guide

NSI has prepared a separate guide to make it easier to report all forms of discrimination and unwanted behavior, including racism, violence, threats, sexual harassment and abuse.

NSI’s guide is aimed at three target groups:

• Individuals who have experienced discrimination and/or unwanted behavior in a sports context
• Individuals who know about or suspect discrimination and/or unwanted behavior in a sports context
• Sports teams and persons in positions of responsibility in sports who have become aware of cases/suspicions/accusations of discrimination and/or unwanted behavior
