How To Use Sport As A Tool To Promote Gender Equity in Botswana

Sport has the capacity to touch the lives of all people, regardless of gender, age, language, economic and social strata, geographic location, or cultural differences. The culture of sport has intersected with the women’s movement to create an empowering environment for change. This particular research project is designed to examine and analyze what the international women’s feminist sporting movement, in correlation with the Botswana national feminist sporting movement, has done in order to improve gender equity in Botswana through policy change and implementation. Secondly, this research project will recommend methods based on field research and study that can continue to improve gender equity through further policy change and implementation from the national level down to the grassroots level in Botswana by using sport as a tool.
