Sexual and racial discrimination in sports – examples in karate

Abstract

Spolna i rodna neravnopravnost te rasizam su snažno prisutni u životu pojedinaca i sportu današnjice. Postavljamo pitanje definicije rasne i spolne diskriminacije, njihovu prisutnost i predrasude koje su stvorene utjecajem društva. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je definirati pojmove rasizma i spolne, odnosno rodne neravnopravnosti najprije generalno u sportu, a zatim i u karateu. Cilj je približiti taj fenomen pojedincima i primjerima osvijestiti populaciju na njihovu prisutnost u sportu i društvu te ukazati na zajedništvo u borbi protiv različitih oblika diskriminacije.Sexual and gender inequality and racism are nowadays strongly present in the lives of individuals and sport in general. We pose a question of definition of racial and gender discrimination, their presence and the stereotypes created by the influence of society. The goal of this paper is to primarily define terms like racism and sexual, i.e. gender inequality generally in sports, but also in karate. The aim is to bring this phenomenon closer to enlighten the general population through examples about its presence in sport and society and to show a way for a fight against various forms of discrimination
