Women Win: Let’s Coach and Let’s Lead
Comic Relief awarded a grant of GBP 165,000 to Women Win for work in South Africa, dated 15 July 2015.
Overview
There are high levels of poverty, crime, HIV, and youth unemployment in the townships of the Tshwane District of South Africa. Adolescent girls and young women are a particularly vulnerable group, experiencing high levels of gender based violence, including rape.This project uses sport as an entry point to provide a safe space for engagement with girls, and also as a way of engaging with the wider community about rights, violence, and sexual and reproductive health. Young women will be trained as leaders to deliver the activities in primary schools.This will improve the ability of girls and young women to influence decisions that impact their lives and facilitate access to services.
