Abuse of power

11 Freunde

Collaborative Cover story with Sofia Brandes for 11 Freunde.

"497 people shared their experiences of physical, psychological, and sexual violence after "11 FREUNDE" and "CORRECTIV" launched a nationwide survey. The stories reveal racism, sexism, homophobia, secret recordings, bullying, and abuse of power, from unwanted touches to assault. The survey isn’t representative, but the testimonies make one thing clear: youth football in Germany has a violence problem and many clubs and associations are overwhelmed by it."
