GlobalGiving Report – La Nuestra – 1st quarter

Translation to English

Thank you for supporting La Nuestra in continuing to advance gender justice through sports/football with girls and women in Barrio 31, Argentina.

Activities carried out in the past three months:

  • We held training sessions on three courts simultaneously for 200 participants (from 6 to 50+ years old) twice a week, 2 hours per day. We started with competitions and recreational activities every weekend for the U-8, U-10, U-12, U-14, U-16 and U-19 categories in the context of the Liffeba tournament (Liga de Futbol Femenino Barrial). Through this competition, we strengthen and support girls' and young women's football in marginalised neighbourhoods. 
  • We also started participating in the Inclusion Tournament (Torneo Inclusión) for the senior category. This tournament aims to strengthen the participation of women and the LGTBYQ+ collective in 11-a-side football.
  • We carried out a project supported by the (former) Ministry of Women and Gender called Escuelas Populares (Popular Schools). Through the tools of popular education and the knowledge we have built throughout our history, we seek to deepen our own feminist theory of sport with other community-based organisations.
  • In collaboration with Women Win, we started the project "Hagamos La Nuestra LATAM", which consists of a learning community with organisations from Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, and El Salvador to reflect about feminist power and governance in sport. 

Activities planned for the next three months:

  • In-person convening of the “Hagamos La Nuestra LATAM” learning community in Bogotá. Systematisation of insights and learnings and creation of a final document to wrap up this stage of the process.
  • Participation in a training programme for women football coaches of the Sao Paulo Football Federation. We will bring our discussions on sport and feminism to coaches.
  • We will continue with the training sessions for 200 female players of La Nuestra.
  • We will organise competitions on weekends for all categories in the following tournaments: Mugica Nos Une Tournament, LIFFEBA Tournament and Inclusion Tournament.

Concrete challenges that can be overcome with financial support:

Financial support allows us to cover the costs of:

  • Participation in the 36 Plurinational Gathering of Women, Lesbians, Trans, Transvestites, Bisexuals, Intersex, and non-binary people.
  • Transportation to tournaments.
  • Sports clothing for all players.
  • Coaches’ fees/salaries.
  • Sports equipment.

We celebrate La Nuestra's wins in advancing gender justice in and through sports and play in Barrio 31, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
