The booth is being run by a group of safeguarding experts, including inspirational survivors of abuse in sport, members of the Buenos Aires 2018 volunteer team and a number of Athlete Role Models, who are on hand to offer advice and guidance from an athlete perspective.

The team is led by the IOC Safeguarding Officer, Susan Greinig, who highlighted the importance of the new Youth Olympic Games Framework for Safeguarding Athletes, which is being implemented in Buenos Aires for the first time. The IOC has circulated the Framework to all National Olympic Committees and summer International Federations to help ensure that athletes arrive aware and engaged.

"This is the fifth YOG in which I've led a booth on safe sport, and I have seen a definite evolution," she said.

"The athletes at Buenos Aires 2018 are the same age [as the athletes at previous editions of the YOG], but they seem to have much more awareness and they ask questions, which shows that they're really engaged in helping to protect each other against harassment and abuse. It's very, very encouraging."
