Together with the All-Ukrainian Center for Physical Health "Sports for All" the Foundation launched a social advertising campaign "Stop, discrimination. Everyone has the right to sports"
Since the beginning of the foundation, the topic of inclusion and accessibility in sports has been the driver of the organization and underlies its projects. However, in order to overcome all barriers in children's way to sports and break down discriminatory and stereotypical perceptions, the Parimatch Foundation is starting this difficult dialogue with society.
The purpose of the social campaign is to combat stereotypical and discriminatory notions that sports may be hampered by disability, race, gender, or other characteristics.
Unfortunately, in Ukraine, there is still a problem with the availability of sports as well, as discrimination on various grounds.
