Subject: Ensuring Fair Competition and Upholding Women's Rights in Sports in Accordance with EU Legislation and the Hague Convention

We, the undersigned, call upon EU COMMISSION to take immediate action to protect the integrity of women's sports and ensure fair competition. We are deeply concerned about the growing trend of biological males participating in women's sports, which threatens to undermine decades of progress in women's rights and gender equality.

Background:

Women's sports were established to provide a level playing field for female athletes, acknowledging the physiological differences between males and females. These categories were created to ensure fair competition, allowing women to compete among their peers without the inherent physical advantages that males typically possess.

Key Points:

Biological Differences:
The physiological differences between males and females are well-documented. According to various medical and scientific bodies, males generally have greater muscle mass, bone density, and cardiovascular capacity, which confer significant advantages in many sports.

EU Charter of Fundamental Rights:
Article 23 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights mandates equality between men and women in all areas, including employment, work, and pay. This principle extends to sports, ensuring that women have equal opportunities to compete and succeed. Allowing biological males to compete in women's sports undermines this principle, as it introduces an unfair advantage that discriminates against female athletes.

European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR):
Article 14 of the ECHR prohibits discrimination on various grounds, including sex. Ensuring fair competition in women's sports is essential to upholding the non-discrimination principle, providing women with the opportunity to compete on equal terms.

Hague Convention:
The Hague Convention emphasizes the importance of protecting the rights and well-being of individuals in various legal contexts. While not directly related to sports, the principles of fairness, equity, and protection of rights enshrined in the Convention support the argument for maintaining fair competition in women's sports.

Petition:

We urge EU Commission to:

Review and Amend Policies:
Review and amend current policies to ensure that female athletes compete in categories that reflect their biological sex, preserving the integrity and fairness of women's sports.

Uphold the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights:
Ensure that the spirit and intent of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights are upheld by protecting the rights of female athletes to compete on a level playing field.

Promote Fairness:
Advocate for policies that promote fairness and equality in sports, recognizing the inherent physiological differences between males and females.

Support Female Athletes:
Provide support and resources to female athletes who may be adversely affected by current policies, ensuring they have the opportunities to succeed and excel in their chosen sports.

Conclusion:

We believe in the importance of sports as a means of promoting health, teamwork, and personal development. It is crucial to maintain the integrity of women's sports by ensuring fair competition. By taking action to protect women's rights in sports, we can continue to promote gender equality and empower female athletes.

We respectfully request that EU Commission take these concerns seriously and implement the necessary changes to protect the future of women's sports and take the necessary actions against the Olympic games in regards of the broken humans rights of the women boxers forced to play against biological males.
