  • Introduction
    th Dubai International Academy Model United Nations 2018 | 10 ​ Annual Session ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Forum: General Assembly 3 - Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Issue: Furthering women’s participation in sports and related activities in the Indian Subcontinent ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Student Officer: Aman Jalan ​ ​ ​ ​ Position: Head Chair ​ ​ ​ Introduction In a world that is progressing towards gender equality economically and socially, it is imperative that equality is also achieved in the field of sports. However, statistics prove otherwise. According to the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation, women’s sports received only 7% of coverage and 0.4% of the total value of commercial sponsorships in 2013. Furthermore, this statistic would’ve been even worse had it been for specifically the Indian Subcontinent. One of the key reasons for this issue is the conservative mentality that society in these countries have. Over there, a woman’s destiny is to marry a well-to-do husband and take care of him and their family. Women, often times, are considered to be a burden rather than a blessing in conservative parts of these countries. Therefore, the concept of women partaking in sporting activities professionally is surreal to these people. Furthermore, A combination of other factors such as unstable incomes, subpar facilities, sponsorship struggles, poverty and safety issues has also led to this situation. Despite these factors, there still has been a lot of efforts made. For example, the Sri Lankan government had taken various steps in the past to help promote sports amongst women and also had various schemes to identify potential talents. Furthermore, the Indian Olympics Women’s team won the nation’s heart after bagging various spots at the finals and also winning two Olympic medals.
