HER GAMES 2017- Curtain Raiser

In 1978, UNESCO declared sports and physical activity as a human right. But, still today Sports is just a dream for most of the women across the globe. Woman Athletes are getting less salary/prize money compared to Men in every sports. Sexual exploitation against women athletes is rising. Incidence of lifestyle diseases increasing among women due to lack of physical activity. Only a healthy woman can create a healthy next generation.

Inspired by the words of Susan B. Anthony, American suffragist (“Bicycling has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world”) and the deeds of DipikaPallikkal, Indian Squash player (5 year long Historical fight for equal pay and its success), we are planning to conduct HER GAMES 2017 in Ernakulam (2017 August 14 to 18).
