Instilling sport in women as a tool for leadership development in Bordj Bou Arreridj
Project supported by El Ghaith Association
Established in 1998, the El Ghaith Association for Solidarity, Poverty Alleviation and Inclusion (ASLCPE El Ghaith in French) is a non-profit organisation targeting poorer children and women by promoting empowerment and literacy. It aims at participating in the effective reintegration of aggrieved social groups.
The project is going to revitalise the sporting activities in favour the young girls as well as educate them on citizenship, culture and notions of well-being. Physical education at school is also a major issue as it helps promote gender equality, above all in a country where most of the sports educators are men. The total cost of the project is €50,000
Context
In Algeria sport is hardly practised and accessible to women. This is due to both the critical views of the society and insecurity. The girls’ practice of sports at school is hindered by a lack of female resources capable of teaching the sporting syllabi in the elementary and grammar schools. The fact that most of the teachers are men further dampens the girls’ enthusiasm for the practice of sport. The girls are not provided with the same opportunities for development through sport the way the boys of the same age are. For UNDP in Algeria, the gender equality record still shows many disparities with a gender inequality index of 0.425 in 2013 causing the country to rank 81th in 152 countries.
El Ghaith ASLCPE would like to provide the girls and young women with a greater access to sporting activities by changing the community’s views on women’s practice of sports as well as to build a gender-sensitive community in favour of women.
Goals
- Promoting sport for the young girls;
- Building confidence and self-esteem with the girls;
- Identifying and combating the gender-based stereotypes;
- Creating an enabling environment for the young girls and women of the locality to practice sport;
Activities
- Initiating training on the good practices in gender in the field of sport;
- Providing the sports coaches with cross-cutting gender-based training;
- Organising awareness workshops on gender.
Impacts
- 1,000 children aged 6 to 10 from primary school shall be benefiting from mixed sporting programmes;
- 1,000 students aged 11 to 16 and 1,000 girls aged 17 to 19;
- 500 women and 500 students from the University of Bordj Bou Arreridj shall be benefiting from women-friendly sporting programmes.
