Abstract:
Girls and women have particular hurdles when it comes to participating in sports all across the world. These are personal, practical, economic, political, and cultural problems. The lack of a private location where girls can compete without being seen by men is a barrier in Pakistan. In Zimbabwe, girls are expected to dance, whereas men are encouraged to play football. Leaders must first be aware of the hurdles in order to build an effective athletics programme for girls. Understanding potential roadblocks leads to the creation of beneficial, long-term solutions. Going out into the community and asking parents and leaders their thoughts on girls playing sports is the most crucial step in learning the challenges that girls encounter in a specific region. The issues that Women Win partner organizations encounter are listed below. This is especially true in the sports industry. It has been dominated and reserved for men for far too long, with the argument that "women aren't really into sports that much anyhow." When I was studying journalism, I remember attending a sports writing session where, coincidentally, the male side had a larger show of hands that day. The quick 'duh' that rang through the class the moment the speaker said it out loud astounded me. When my closest buddies saw my outraged gaze, they shrugged and said something along the lines of "everyone knows females don't get sports," which launched the greatest guys vs. girls discussion ever conducted in that frigid corner of the world.
