#DrawAttention to Human Rights around Mega Sporting Events
Have you heard about the dark side of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil?
Did you know that around thousand homes were torn down and 12 275 people in 24
communities were forcibly moved to make way for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ and 2016
Olympic facilities in Rio?
This is just an example of the human rights violations that can happen around Mega Sporting
Events.
Be a human rights hero and #DrawAttention to these violations!
In occasion of the 1st European Games to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan in June 2015, we call for your
