More about Capoeira4Refugees
In many parts of the world, women and girls face discrimination and gender stereotyping every day. Inequality perpetuates legal and cultural norms, creating gender-based barriers to opportunities such as education, social inclusion, and females to rise as role models. Capoeira4Refugees works with girls across the Middle East to break barriers and empower girls through sport and play. Whether training girls recreationally, through enhancement of life skills or other social cohesion approaches, our programmes are helping to close the gender gap and enabling girls to overcome obstacles to achievement. Our women’s programmes are designed to increase access to learning, raise awareness of women’s rights, promote meaningful engagement in the community, develop female leaders, and address prevention of gender-based violence. It is our policy to implement inclusive learning strategies through music, sport and play to enhance girls’ opportunities.
