Recently I read an article that talked about a United Kingdom based non-government organization that is going to Rwanda in order to promote women sports. The group is also aimed at developing a sporting culture that enables and values full involvement of women in different aspects of sports. This article relates to the class in the sense that it talked about promoting women sports. In our class discussions, we always talk about different ways to promote women sports in American and the rest of the world. This group is doing a tremendous thing by traveling to Africa because women sports needs to be promoted in African especially when male sports are the dominate figures in Africa. The group also planned to send top American sports personalities to emphasize the need of women empowerment in sports. The group also encouraged women to participate in sports by providing them with the equipments that they needed to play. The group also teamed up with Nike, which resulted in Nike providing more equipments, appropriate clothing, etc. Hopefully, this kind of treatment can spread to the different parts of Africa where sports are not popular amongst women.
