** Sonke Gender Justice welcomes the Castor Semenya European Court of Human Rights ruling
------------------------------------------------------------
** For Immediate Release
------------------------------------------------------------
13 July 2023 – Sonke Gender Justice applauds the European Court of Human Rights for ruling in favour of double Olympic champion Caster Semenya in a verdict, that she was discriminated against by the World Athletics rules, that forced her to medically reduce her natural hormone levels to compete in major competitions.
Semenya has a condition known as hyperandrogenism and is classified by World Athletics as having “differences of sexual development”. She has been fighting the regulations by World Athletics since 2019. Semenya has failed twice in legal appeals to overturn the decision in the Court of Arbitration for Sport in 2019 and in Switzerland. The European Court of Human Rights ruled that the Swiss government failed to defend Semenya from discrimination.
