| dc.description.abstract | Nepal being a male-dominated society is still facing discrimination between men and
women in various sectors. This discrimination starts right from the family level to the
national level. From a male member overpowering a female member in a family to unequal
distribution of opportunities in national level, discrimination is easily visible in most of the
areas. Currently, involvement of women in sports is one of the major topics of discussion.
Women in Nepal involve in sports comparatively lesser than men due to various reasons like
male-dominated media, lack of proper encouragement, menstruation, etc.
Our projects’ purpose was to find out the interest and involvement of teenage girls of
Nepal in indoor and outdoor sports. Moreover, it was to motivate and encourage women to
take part in sports. This was a cross- sectional study, random sampling test done with teenage
girls. The total number of participants were 176 and from 11 different schools/ high schools.
Questionnaires prepared were given to the participants for giving their opinions.
Out of the total participants, only 62.3% said their parents or teachers encourage them
to participate in sports and around 50% gave positive response about the scope of sports in
Nepal. More than 50% said it is not good to play sports during the time of menstruation. | en_US |
