ADDRESSING GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE THROUGH GIRLS SPORTS - VIDEO

 

Gender-based violence is a major public health and human rights problem throughout the world. This type of violence often happens behind closed doors. A girl needs a safe space to discuss experiences, violations and fears, and receive validation that her fears are okay. Furthermore, a girl needs to understand her legal rights. A team and trusted coaches can provide that environment.

We are currently producing a collaboratively authored interactive guideline that will promote best practices and also serve to connect activists doing the work on the ground. Information on The International Guide to Designing Sport Programmes for Girls - http://www.girlsportguides.org/about
