Venue: Multiple Locations, Kathmandu, Jhapa and Partner organizations all over Nepal
Target Group: Young Girls , Women
Number of participants: 180
Objective of the project:
Football for woman is not just about game but it is the great drivers of gender equality. Women in sports defy gender stereotypes and social norms, make inspiring role models, and show men and women as equals. Football develops strength, confidence and self-esteem in women. It gives them freedom to express themselves and let the world understand that women can equally play and get empowered through it. We are running football coaching for young girls too so that they can understand the equality since their childhood. The leagues that we do are equally for women and girls so that they get opportunities to show their skills.. Male players are idolized for their skill and strength whereas female athletes are more likely to be judged on their appearance or personal life. Football has no gender is mainly a campaign that we advocate in the national government level.
