The Sports Ethics Center (Han Min-soo, Lee (President) acting director, hereinafter "the Center"), under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, conducted on-site human rights protection activities in cooperation with the Korea Roller Sports Federation to protect athletes at the 46th President's Cup National School and Corporate Team Inline Speed Skating and Inline Hockey Tournaments held from August 29 to 30 at Andong Gymnasium in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Regarding this activity, the Center explained that it was implemented "to support inline speed skating and inline hockey athletes in being protected from human rights violations such as violence, sexual harassment, and sexual assault, and to enable them to focus on competition in a safe environment."

The Center deployed human rights protection officers at the tournament venue to conduct human rights monitoring and prevention activities covering all aspects of the competition venues and athlete team operations.

Sports Ethics Center human rights protection officers are official professional personnel operated by the Center based on the National Sports Promotion Act, representing a national-level system for preventing and responding to human rights violations in sports settings.

Human rights protection officers have been dispatched to nationwide sporting events this year to carry out human rights violation prevention activities and on-site monitoring.

The Center emphasized that "in case of incidents, they perform roles such as initial counseling and reporting support through the Center, and coordination with relevant institutional investors, striving to ensure that both athletes and coaches can train in a safe and respectful environment."

Han Min-soo, acting Lee (President) director of the Sports Ethics Center, stated, "One of the roles of human rights protection officers is to eliminate blind spots for human rights violations at tournament venues and further strengthen on-site human rights protection systems. Regardless of the scale of the event, we will continue to work harder to foster a proper sports culture where mutual respect and consideration become daily practice in any sports setting."
