Participation in sport is recognized as a human right under the terms of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), as a component of ‘participation in the community’s cultural life. Therefore, those young people who are excluded from sports can, in a certain way, be also excluded from their community. In order to guarantee this right, it is essential that the clubs become aware of the importance of sport as an instrument of inclusion. To accompany the clubs in this awareness, this seminar collects some of the concepts related to inclusion and provides some examples of the elements that can function as barriers that prevent the presence, participation, and achievement of all sportswomen.
