WE MUST CHANGE OUR MENTALITIES

African women are involved in a lot of sports activities. It's not fully a cultural problem but how those sports activities are look upon. These activities are seen more as them entertaining themselves than as something competitive.

Women have also been indoctrinated about how their bodies would look more as men when involved in sports.Making them less attractive to the opposite sex when they engage in sporting activities.

I`d like to say that while women in sports in Africa has`nt yet reached optimal numbers,the number is ever increasing.

We find support increasing for women`s football and african women winning medals at the olympic games. So its not all gloom and doom for Women sports.
