During the months of October, November and December of year 2017 the "Goal for Equality" project carried out actions involving students, educators, young people and the community in order to promote gender equality and the empowerment of girls. The main actions carried out were:
As a highlight, we mention the Goal for Equality Tournament, a women's futsal championship that took place in October. The event, in its 2nd edition, aims to be an affirmative action for the empowerment of girls and women. This year the tournament gathered 14 teams, totaling 180 participants. In addition to the games, there were parallel activities complementing the program, such as: Workshop on Sport and Gender; photography activity "Click Diva"; dance workshop, painting exhibition "AquarElas" and recreational activities. The event had an excellent attendance, with more than 400 people between participants and spectators.
Another action that deserves to be highlighted is the Campaign on the 16 days of Activism for the End of Violence against Women. This campaign happened between November 25 and December 10, through the social networks of the Gol de Letra Foundation. The material produced for the campaign was developed inside Gol de Letra by our young people guided by our educators.
The main challenge in the period was to articulate the community to assure a good participation in the Goal for Equality Tournament. The 16 young leaders of the Goal for Equality project played a key role in mobilizing the women teams that participated in the games. They had the task of identifying female soccer teams to attend the festival. In addition to identifying, they had to stimulate their participation in the event. Challenge fulfilled successfully!
