More about Nothing Can Stop Indian Women's Hockey
Within the Indian Himalayas, girls and young women of remote and traditionally under-served communities experience a life of limited opportunities due to a lack of education and a cultural bias towards traditional roles within society for these girls as they become young women. As a result, educational opportunities and schooling for these girls is severely limited or impossible and can negatively impact the rest of their lives. This lack of education, and specifically English education, creates a continuing inequality in employment opportunities, wages, access to credit, and also has a negative influence in health, gender-related violence, and discrimination.
The Hockey Foundation both empowers girls and young women through the inclusion in all aspects of the ice hockey events while also improving English literacy through immersive instructions and reading classes.
