THE RIGHT TO LEISURE AND SPORT ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT
A LOOK AT THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONS
Keywords:
Africa, Leisure, Sports, Social rightAbstract
The study is contextualized by the recognition of leisure and sport as social rights, fulfilling the objective of verifying the mention of leisure and sport as rights in the Constitutional Charters of the 54countries of the African continent, making non-hegemonic contexts visible, notified marked by colonial violence. For this, the Documentary Analysis of the national constitutions of the 54 countries of the continent was carried out, referenced by the terms "leisure", "sport" and "recreation". It was observed that 20 nations mention leisure as a social right, 22 do so in relation to sport, and 14 addresses both rights, and 27 do not mention leisure or sport. It is concluded that a significant portion of African countries recognize leisure and sport as social rights in their legal order, without this reflecting their effective presence in everyday social life, suggesting that new investigations in specific sociocultural contexts be carried out.
