Currently, there is a global decline in activity amongst children, and girls face an even greater number of barriers. They are more likely than boys to lack confidence in their skills and feel self-conscious about their bodies; and many girls around the world are culturally discouraged from being physically active.
Launched just ahead of International Women’s Day 2017 (March 8), the ‘What will they say about you’ filmaimed to change perceptions by inspiring women in the Middle East that there is a world of firsts for the taking, and to encourage them to leap over life’s obstacles and get active - regardless of societal, physical or culturalbarriers.
