Why it matters

Banning women from sports negates their bodily existence. Sports become a practice to reclaim one’s body and personal space.

• Create safe sports spaces for Afghan women in Tehran and Islamabad
• Conduct sports therapy workshops: empowerment yoga, mind-body exercises
• Teach sexual health: menstruation, fertility, menopause, access to hygiene products
• Campaign “My Body, My Right” for puberty health awareness and violence prevention
• Support threatened female athletes

In Afghanistan, the last time I played football was 14 years ago. Yesterday, in a safe space in islamabd, I touched the ball again. I cried — not from sadness, but from the fact that I am still alive.
