Sports and healthy lifestyles as contributing factors to the right to health 2016, para. 5
- Paragraph text
- In other United Nations documents, participation in sport and physical activity is recognized as a stand-alone right. The recently revised International Charter of Physical Education, Physical Activity and Sport (of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recognizes that the practice of physical education, physical activity and sport is a fundamental right for every human being, without discrimination. Equal participation in sport as a right has also been recognized in article 13 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and in article 30 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- The cooperation between sectors can also be beneficial to facilitate access to preschool education, especially for children of families at risk, and enable community readiness to accept and integrate children and adults with disabilities into all of the everyday life of the community. This approach can also offer opportunities for adolescents and youth at risk to find alternatives to youth violence by engaging them in community programmes that support recreation centres for older persons, thus contributing to the reinforcement of intergenerational links and improving the quality of human relationships in general.
