Baseline Study on Gender Equity through Sport and Play 2016

The baseline study was conducted to gather information from multiple stakeholders including young girls and boys, parents, teachers, coaches, community elders and project staff about the role of play that can inculcate gender equality among children, assess their life and leadership skills and access to secure play areas. The study set benchmarks against project indicators for comparison at the end of project. Around 500 children were contacted through one to one interview along with the focused group discussions with the key stakeholders to get to know about their perceptions and viewpoints about gender equality and what role they could play in gender empowerment through awareness raising and their participation in play activities.
