The Line We Don’t Cross

The Line We Don’t Cross

Join a global movement to protect children and young athletes from trafficking and exploitation in sport. This campaign calls on organisations, communities, and individuals to take a clear stand against unsafe recruitment and weak safeguarding.

 

About the campaign

The Line We Don’t Cross is Mission 89’s zero-tolerance call to action against exploitation in sport. It speaks to a simple truth: young athletes should never have to trade safety for opportunity. The campaign is built to raise awareness, encourage commitment, and help organisations move from concern to practical action.

The challenge

Vulnerable young people are targeted with fake trials, false guarantees, unsafe travel offers, and misleading promises of professional careers.

The mission

Mobilise clubs, federations, companies, educators, coaches, parents, athletes, and fans around stronger safeguarding standards.

The action

Invite organisations and supporters to align behind a shared declaration and show publicly where they stand.

Stakeholder consultation group

Mission 89 is using the consultation process to strengthen and refine the declaration behind the campaign. The goal is to ensure the final commitment reflects the realities of different sectors while keeping a clear line on exploitation, abuse, and trafficking in sport.
Invite organisations and professionals to register their interest if they want to contribute to the consultation, shape the declaration, and help make it stronger, more practical, and more representative.

Voices from the field

This section should introduce short video or quote testimonials from athletes, integrity experts, campaign allies, and youth advocates. Keep the framing simple: real voices, real risks, real reasons to act now.

Campaign resources

Offer a compact resource area with fact sheets, launch materials, social assets, and safeguarding messages that partners can download and share. The aim is to make campaign participation as easy and practical as possible.

Get involved

Invite visitors to host a workshop, nominate a youth ambassador, share their story, or partner with Mission 89 to bring the campaign into a federation, community programme, school, club, or event. This should feel like an action menu, not a passive sign-off.
