Connecting girls inspiring futures
"At NOWSPAR we are living this theme by mentoring girls towards their engagement in sport leadership. Through our sheroes program we are mobilising girls and young women to highlight their capacities and potential. We are advancing girls and women’s right to sport because we believe sport provides a forum for girls to forge relationships and linkages with one another and with their community. These linkages are critical to their access to resources, social networks as sport is increasingly becoming a platform for empowerment."
Addressing Gender Based Violence
"NOWSPAR’s work in promoting women’s involvement in sport is the foundation of our concern about the investment in sport infrastructure and programs at community level. As our Country moves forward in addressing Gender Based Violence especially against girls, our focus is on developing girls who are aware of their rights, who speak out for themselves and for others. In this light we are campaigning for the implementation of the Guiding Principles on Gender Based Violence in the Sport Sector. This is critical to creating sport that is ethical and good. Girls’ engagement in sport in an atmosphere of safety and positive recognition of their rights and potential is important to the creation of a generation of women who are empowered."
Activities during Women's Day
"Our activities during this Women’s Day include our media presentations, a Women’s Sports Day on Saturday 10th and sports events in different communities in our chapters in the provinces of Zambia. These are activities that are including the participation and leadership of girls and women. On behalf of the Board and Management of NOWSPAR, I wish you a happy Women’s Day and look forward to our cooperation towards girls’ empowerment."
