Access to Sport - Gender Equality - Healthy lifestyle - Personal development - Strengthening partnershipsContext
One third of the Central African Republic’s population is displaced due to ongoing conflict. Girls in particular, face deep gender inequities that limit their freedom and opportunities. Cultural norms discourage their participation in sport, football especially, and they have few safe spaces to play, grow or lead. This lack of access undermines their confidence, leadership and sense of belonging.
