Sign now with a click Inspired by the fortitude and resilience of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, I write this petition personally, driven by the need to address the unfair hate that accompanies her Olympic journey. Imane, a female Olympian, represents the strength and determination of countless women worldwide. Yet, she has been unfairly judged and vilified for her natural bodily makeup—a stark testament to the embedded prejudices still prevalent in our societies. It is a harsh reality that in the 21st century, female athletes face discrimination, body shaming, and hate. A survey conducted by Women's Sports Foundation revealed 67% of women athletes faced gender discrimination (Girl and Women Athletes: Facing the Double Bind, 2021, Women's Sports Foundation). To see Imane Khelif, a symbol of courage and perseverance, be a victim of this disturbing trend is both regrettable and alarming. This petition seeks to rally support on a global scale for Imane Khelif—showing her, and the world, that there are thousands who admire her tenacity, ferocity, and dedication to her sport. May our voices reach further than the hate, showcasing that the true spirit of sports embraces respect and fairness towards all athletes, regardless of gender or physical appearance. It's time to rise against unjust treatment of women in sports! Stand with Imane Khelif, and sign this petition. Together, we can turn the tide and let our united voices echo louder than the disparaging comments.
