On 22 March, we participated in a conference organized by our partner, Centre for Equity and Inclusion (CEQUIN), on gender equality through football. The conference brought together different stakeholders and provided a platform to exchange of ideas and advocate for sport for development (S4D) initiatives. Our Founder-Director Suheil F. Tandon spoke at the conference, giving a brief overview of S4D and how sports-based methodologies can be used to achieve gender equality.

Searching for role models
For International Women’s Day 2022, we asked our five peer leaders to tell us about the sportswomen that inspire them. Our conversations revealed the lack of female sports role models that are available to youth in India, but also highlighted how ordinary women can inspire other girls and women around them.
