Sport for the boys – what about the girls?
It seems the answer for struggling Indigenous males is football as it helps them to engage and develop using sport, but what is the alternative for Aboriginal girls? A report released yesterday looks into the issue and explains there needs to be more programs for Aboriginal women as they act as catalysts for change in their communities.
The Best of Every Woman is a report that looks at the education and development of Aboriginal girls from birth until the age of thirty-four. It discusses ways to help Indigenous girls and women set goals to improve their lives and get started on career paths. The point of the report is to help policy makers implement programs specifically for the women.
