Girls and women's experiences of gender-based barriers in sports in Zambia
Abstract
This research study aimed to explore the gender-based barriers experienced by girls and
women in sport in Zambia. 12 female athletes, coaches, leaders and organizers at
different performance levels, aged between 19 and 35 were interviewed. The results in
chapter 5 and 6 therefore reflect their experiences in sport. Findings showed that girls
and women reveal several gender-based barriers in sport, discussed and presented as
socio-cultural, socio-economical and safety barriers.
