I hope you guys saw the call for proposals below l shared it

yesterday. https://www.beyondsport.org/event/2020-bys-gender-equality-collective-
impact-award/

The grant is looking for innovative initiatives through the use of sport in advocating
for gender equality amongst women.

My idea is to start project which shall focus of young teenage mothers in selected
areas, maybe 5 areas, eg Mabvuku, Highfield, Mufakose, Hopely and epworth. We
target volleyball teams / or we establish volleyball teams in these areas targeting
mostly young teenage mothers, both married and unmarried to empower them with
gender awareness through workshops, to create community champions out of them
who will intern work with schools in their area/location of residence targeting young
girls around gender awareness.

The other project activity for the same project would be to do tournaments and build
a competitive team out of the five teams which will have the right coaching and
influence to compete nationally, regionally and even internationally. Your thoughts or
additions are welcome…...

The projects woks with women and girls who belong to netball clubs in six high density areas within
Harare. 36 young teenage mothers and girls will be selected from the teams to undergo training on
gender equality and women empowerment to become women empowerment and gender equality
community champions who will intern work with schools in their areas targeting young girls. The
project will support tournaments between the partnering teams and build a competitive team out of
the six teams, support it with effective coaching to compete nationally and internationally as a way
of empowering women as career sports persons.

MODEL

(Refer to the Beyond Sport Five Basic Principles for more information on the ‘Model’)

WHAT are the specific issue(s) around Gender Equality your entry addresses and how are you
using sport to do it? *
The project empowers women and girls in sporting by supporting feminine sporting activities such as
netball whose importance and prioritisation have been side-lined due to lack of funding, promotion
and media coverage which made such sporting activities to remain in the background compared to
masculine sporting activities such as soccer. In this regard, the project will ensure wide media
coverage for netball and attract co-founders for the tournaments, coaching and participation in
national, regional and international competitions

Th project also seeks to change community perceptions about feminine sporting activities such as
Netball from perceiving it as just a sport for recreation to perceiving it as something that one can
take as a career on equal terms as masculine sporting activities were females have to behave like
males to be considered.

By training women in sports to become gender equality champions to work with girls in schools the
project seeks to empower women to stand as equal members of society and to inspire girls to take
up sport as a career path hence nurturing and empowering them for economic self sufficiency

contribute to open dialogue on SRHR issues and to Promote Behaviour Change of young people in
schools concerning Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRHR) has seen cases of sexual abuse reported
to police and levels of interaction between teenagers and SRHR service providers increasing. This has
contributed in reducing new HIV and STI infections in project areas. Before the project, project
provinces would record an average of less than 100 cases of sexual abuse per year and it was as rare
occasion for SRHR services providers to have teenagers from schools coming to inquire and openly
discuss on various SRHR issues. However, ongoing evaluation of the BFL project has shown that
implementation of the BFL which used Edutainment which is an effective, fun and highly
participatory educative strategy which enables youths who are bored with conventional education
approaches to learn through entertainment, relatable and contextually relevant scenarios. The BFL
project also created a platform or teenagers to interact with service providers whom the usually
shun Numbers.

approach to programming. In this PET is guided by the principles of equality, respect for diversity,
inclusivity and non-discrimination. To begin with PET’s employment policy is guided by principles of
equality, respect for diversity, inclusivity and non-discrimination. It accords equal opportunities to all
irrespective of sex, disability, age among others. However, PET gives first priority to persons with
disabilities, females and youths. This is because persons with disabilities, women and youths makes
the most marginalised groups in Zimbabwe and Africa hence the need for affirmative action to
accord them opportunities so as to raise their economic and social status for equality. PET has
manged to achieve gender equality; its top management is made up of two males and two females.
Out of 33 staff members half are females. Of the top management one has a disability. PET staff
