Question

List some prejudice that women or girls are subjected to

Answer 1

Many cultures consider sport to be a male domain.1 Despite the increase of women athletes at all levels, from grassroots activities to the Olympic Games, girls are often barred from watching and participating in sport. Societies assume that the physical and psychological qualities associated with athleticism, such as strength and competitiveness, are “masculine.” In many traditional societies, a girl can be condemned for being pornographic for merely showing her skin in athletic clothing or raising her leg to kick a ball. When femininity in a culture is associated with being petite or soft, girls are often reluctant to build muscle mass.2Becoming a wife often means giving up sport or other leisure activities. These attitudes about the role a girl should or should not play in society are imposed upon adolescent girls and, over time, adopted by them as well.

There are also misunderstandings when it comes to sport and its impact on girls’ sexual and reproductive health. Some fear that playing sport will cause loss of virginity. A common myth in some cultures is that the physical exertion of sport, such as running, kicking or jumping, will cause the hymen to tear. An intact hymen is erroneously seen as a physical indicator of virginity. In societies where a girl’s virginity before marriage is sacred, the threat of sport causing a tear can be a very serious concern.

Girls and society often have misunderstandings about the safety of participating in sport while menstruating. In addition, sanitary pads and tampons are expensive and are not a financial priority for many families, especially in traditional cultures or among economically disadvantaged families.3 When girls begin to menstruate, they are often confined to their homes and temporarily or totally cease participation in sport.
