ABSTRACT In this study, we examined 1) the prevalence of maltreatment in British junior elite track and field athletes, 2) relationships between maltreatment, psychological safety, and subjective vitality, and 3) whether maltreatment is indirectly related to subjective vitality via psychological safety.

1. Introduction Uganda, officially known as the Republic of Uganda, is a landlocked country in east central Africa and is one of the 49 sub-Saharan countries. It is bordered by Kenya in the east, the Democratic Republic of Congo in the west, South Sudan in the north and Tanzania and Rwanda in the south and southwest, respectively. It is also known as the ‘Pearl of Africa’, which is an expression affiliated to Winston Churchill (Churchill 2013) who used it to describe the country’s flora and fauna.

Introduction The term human rights gained wider currency in the middle of the 20th century (Griffin, 2008). Since its introduction, various social, economic, political and ideological struggles have been played out in the name of human rights (Horne, 2017). Debates about the role of human rights, how they are infringed and the role of international conventions in upholding rights, have become significant to discussions about free and fair global societies.
