EYI: Empowering Youth and Promoting Social Justice

EYI is a youth-centered club with branches in over 50 countries that is dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability, economic and social justice, and human dignity. With a focus on empowering young people, EYI aims to create a better future for generations to come. Through various initiatives and programs, EYI works towards building competent judicial bodies, advocating for the rights of young players, and addressing the crisis of exploitation in sports.

Empowering Youth through Education and Sports

EYI believes in the power of education and sports to transform lives. The organization has partnered with educational institutions such as Mount Mercy University and Graceland University to provide opportunities for young people to pursue their academic and athletic dreams. EYI also offers scholarships and mentorship programs to support talented individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.

One of EYI’s notable achievements is its work with the country’s youth sides. Through training and development programs, EYI has helped groom and nurture young talents, preparing them for future success. Many players who have been part of EYI’s programs have gone on to represent their country at the highest level, including Gabon’s under-17 national team.

Fighting Exploitation in Sports

EYI is committed to addressing the issue of exploitation in sports, particularly the exploitation of young players. The organization believes that all players, regardless of their age or background, should be protected from any form of abuse or mistreatment. EYI works closely with football’s governing bodies and players’ unions to advocate for stronger regulations and policies to safeguard the rights of young athletes.

There have been numerous cases where young players have been consistently exploited by those in positions of power. EYI has been at the forefront of exposing such cases and providing support to the victims. The organization has also been instrumental in raising awareness about the issue through campaigns and social media platforms.

Supporting Alleged Victims and Seeking Justice

EYI stands in solidarity with alleged victims of abuse and seeks justice on their behalf. The organization provides legal support and guidance to those who have come forward with their stories. EYI believes in the importance of competent judicial bodies that can impartially investigate and prosecute cases of exploitation.

One such case that EYI has been involved in is the alleged abuse by former national team coach, Fabio Capello. Alleged victims claim that Capello groomed and sexually assaulted young players during his time in charge. EYI has been working closely with the victims, providing them with the necessary resources and support to seek justice.

Creating a Safe and Inclusive Environment

EYI believes in creating a safe and inclusive environment for all individuals involved in sports. The organization actively promotes gender equality and fights against any form of discrimination or harassment. EYI works towards creating awareness and providing education on issues such as consent, healthy relationships, and respect.

Through its programs and initiatives, EYI aims to empower young people to make informed decisions and stand up against any form of exploitation or abuse. The organization believes that by addressing these issues head-on, we can create a better and more inclusive sporting community.
