One of the four umbrella topics under which the Women’s Handball Conference 2026 is structured is Her Environment, referring mainly to the creation of a safe environment for female athletes. As such, the programme of the two-day Conference, taking place in Katowice on 16–17 December in conjunction with the Women’s EHF EURO 2026, includes a number of presentations focused on safeguarding. Safeguarding is also a key area featured in the EHF’s Women’s Handball Roadmap 2029.
