CCTV News:South Korea’s sports scandals continue. According to a survey released by the Special Investigation Team of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea on the 7th, more than 2,000 of the more than 60,000 primary and secondary school athletes in South Korea have been sexually assaulted, and 6 of them have been raped.
South Korean short track speed skater Shen Shuoxi:I don’t think this can happen again in sports.
Former Korean judo player Shen Yourong:I’m afraid that if I tell the truth, I can only end my judo career.
Shen Shuoxi and Shen Yourong bravely stood up and exposed the fact that they suffered sexual violence from coaches in high school.
Since then, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea has conducted a survey of 63,000 primary and secondary school athletes nationwide, and the results are shocking: more than 8,400 people said that they had been subjected to physical violence, and more than 2,200 people were subjected to sexual violence, of which 6 were raped.
Most of the perpetrators are coaches or senior athletes.
However, most of the victims were at a loss and had to pretend as if nothing had happened. What’s more, they will fall into self-blame and think that they have not trained hard enough and they deserve to be treated violently.
Experts said that it is very important to start the victim rescue mechanism as soon as possible in the early stage of violence.
The National Human Rights Commission of Korea indicated that it will conduct relevant surveys on national student athletes regularly in the future.
