Access to play, plays a key role in promotion of girls participation in football.That was clearly evident through our partnership with @FundacionLaLiga where the participation of girls increased by 295% in one year in @ASA_RDT Grassroots community programs as we created acces.

True, mixed-gender events from a young age play a vital role in building a conducive space for both girls and boys to respect each other.

Day 4 of @farenet #FootballPeople week & @FundacionLaLiga Mixed-Gender festival and we are in D. Honnur village. Nearly 40+ girls and boys participated: enjoyed playing football after 7 months, recieved soaps and masks as well as COVID19 safety pamphlets. #EqualPlay @ASA_RDT

[Cocky van Dam @CockyvanDam]

Gender stereotypes and the attitudes of people about what girls can and can't do are the main challenges. Girls are not encouraged to access their rights and fulfill their potential. #FootballPeople #EqualPay @Naz_Foundation

[FUNDACIÓN LALIGA @FundacionLaLiga]

@ASA_RDT @farenet When girls play, their self-confidence and their own abilities increases. This effect can be reflected in their everyday life and encourages them to take the initiative and try to do things that they did not think possible before. 💛♀️⚽️

@ASA_RDT @farenet @SuheilTandon @FVF_Madrid @FVICENTEFERRER @FundacionLaLiga @CockyvanDam @abhijeetbarse @slumsoccer @frnadal @Naz_Foundation Equal opportunity in sport ensures that boys and girls both reap the many benefits that participation in sport and physical activity can bring about for their development. Moreover, it sets a precedent that they can then take forward, influencing the community around them as well

[Anantapur Sports Academy @ASA_RDT]

Here is Question 4 :

How does ensuring equal opportunities in sport/football participation for boys and girls impact beyond sport?

@ASA_RDT @CockyvanDam @FVF_Madrid @FVICENTEFERRER @FundacionLaLiga @GNWDaniela @abhijeetbarse @slumsoccer @SuheilTandon @frnadal The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown meant that all our on-ground activities were disrupted, resulting in us having to utilise different ways in which to connect with participants for relief work and online delivery of sessions.

[Anantapur Sports Academy @ASA_RDT]

Here is Question 5:

Did COVID-19 disrupt your program delivery, especially the work related to gender equality? If yes, how?
