How can women be encouraged to participate in sports?

Answer»

The topic of women participation in the Olympics can explain the development of women participation in the sports. In 1900 Paris Olympic Games just 22 women athletes out of 997 athletes participated. Women participation has increased from 2.2% to 44.2% from 1900 to 2012. But the women participation varies from country to country. With regard to India the figures are not as at the world level. Women should be encouraged in order to increase their participation in sports – 

  • There should be more appreciation and support from the audiences or spectators so that their positive behavior shall encourage the players for the better performance.
  • Transportation issues should be kept in mind when it comes to the female players. The organization committee should make appropriate arrangement regarding pick up and drop facilities of the players. As a result even the family members will be satisfied and tension free. 
  • Number of women coaches should also be increased in order to coach the women players regarding their game as people feel more comfortable with the person of the same sex. 
  • Media plays a great role in communicating or publicizing about the victory and loses of the competitors of various games. Media should also cover the sports involving women so that the others of their lot feel proud and come up for participation in sports too. 
  • Appropriate facilities in terms of gears, equipments and medical help should be the priority of the organizing committee and made available to the woman players so that they don’t hesitate in taking part in various sports.
