The mission of Pride and Sports (specifically the Stichting Pride and Sports foundation based in the Netherlands) is to create a safe, inclusive, and diverse sports world where every individual can be themselves, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or sex characteristics.

Their core philosophy is summarized by the motto: "Being yourself in sport."

Core Objectives

To achieve this mission, the organization focuses on three primary pillars:

Visibility: Increasing the visibility of LGBTQ+ athletes and role models in both amateur and professional sports to challenge stereotypes and inspire others.

Acceptance & Education: Providing workshops, educational materials, and professional knowledge to sports clubs and governing bodies to help them foster a more welcoming culture.

Safety & Policy: Lobbying for policy changes at the national and local levels to ensure that sports environments are socially safe and that discrimination is actively addressed.
