Gender equality is a key aspect in our approach, which provides the equal right, responsibilities and opportunities for women and men, girls, and boys. This implies that, the interest, needs and priorities of both men and women are taken into consideration, recognising the diverse groups of women and men.
We believe that sports can be a useful tool to improve gender equality in the various communities we serve, because of its potential to educate people on leadership, contributions to the skills needed for various profession, through the establishment of general values such as fair play, non-discrimination, and teamwork.
It can also be used to increase opportunities for women and girls to develop new skills, gain supports from others and enjoy freedom of expression and movement.
