Hi Patricia,
I really liked reading about your gorundbreaking work with soccer and gilrs/women in Argentina. Last year I founded Women Win, a new international fund focussing on supporting gender equity through sport. I am interested in learning more about your work, the challenges you are facing and your successes in this difficult area. I would also like to know more about what type of activities you are undertaking to discuss violence and improve sexual health. Good luck with your work, check out our Women Win at www.womenwin.org and keep us updated!

Thanks for posting this project. It sounds like this project is creating some real changes for women in Argentina through football.
I'm interested in how your program is empowering women in the community. Have you noticed a change in the participants in your prgram and how do you measure your success, particularly the social change aspects and not just improved sporting performance?
You might also be interested in the Changemakers entry on Boxgirls Roadworks. There are some great discussions about issues surrounding women's sport and social change. An interesting aspect of the Boxgirls program is the combination of boxing with running. That might be something that you take away and use in Argentina as running is also and essential element of football.
I wish you every success as you grow and expand this initiative and look forward to hearing more about it.
Best regards,
