The sport movement must protect children and young athletes from all forms of abuse. However, research points to a disconnect between policy and implementation of policy against sexual abuse. No studies have investigated measures against sexual abuse in Swedish sport. The purpose of this study was to explore measures against sexual abuse in the 10 largest sports federations (SFs) for child and youth sport in Sweden. The study draws on interviews with representatives ( = 18) of the SFs and on a review of SFs' website content regarding sexual abuse and safe sport. Results show that the SFs have taken few or no measures against sexual abuse. Measures for safe sports vary in existence, development, and organization between the SFs, and many SFs are in the early stages of safe sport measures and practice. Although the SF representatives emphasize that sexual abuse is unacceptable, a conflict between making it visible or invisible emerges and creates a gap between policy and practice. Reproducing a culture of silence around sexual abuse in sports seems advantageously for SFs. Social and organizational factors that can debilitate safe sport measures and facilitate sexual abuse in sport are discussed.
体育活动必须保护儿童和年轻运动员免受一切形式的虐待。然而，研究表明，在预防性虐待政策与政策实施之间存在脱节。尚无研究调查瑞典体育界针对性虐待的措施。本研究的目的是探讨瑞典10个最大的儿童和青少年体育联合会（SFs）针对性虐待的措施。该研究基于对各体育联合会代表（共18名）的访谈以及对各体育联合会网站上有关性虐待和安全体育内容的审查。结果显示，各体育联合会几乎没有采取或根本没有采取针对性虐待的措施。各体育联合会在安全体育措施的存在、发展和组织方面各不相同，许多体育联合会处于安全体育措施和实践的早期阶段。尽管体育联合会代表强调性虐待是不可接受的，但在是否将其公开方面出现了冲突，这在政策与实践之间造成了差距。在体育界重现围绕性虐待的沉默文化似乎对体育联合会有利。文中讨论了可能削弱安全体育措施并助长体育界性虐待行为的社会和组织因素。
