Specific references will be made to the cinematic portrayal of female boxers and wrestlers in Bollywood to argue that female boxers and wrestlers are portrayed as ‘masculine’. However, the sportswoman’s assertion of her femininity in a space exclusively occupied by men leads to ‘gender trouble’. To enunciate this argument two biopics, Mary Kom (2014) and Dangal (2016), will be analyzed. It would be observed that when a female boxer/wrestler tries to reinforce her identity, she is either subjected to criticism or faces failure. However, the argument that sportswomen are termed as ‘masculine’ does not necessarily imply that female athletes aren’t objects of the male gaze.

  • Games and Sports : a Gateway of Women's Empowerment in India
    Games And Sports : A Gateway Of Women’s Empowerment In India Dr. Krishnendu Pradhan ABSTRACT “Sport has huge potential to empower women and girls” - Remarks by Lakshmi Puri; UN Assistant Secretary-General and UN Women Deputy Executive Director. The purpose of this paper attempts to shed light the status of women’s empowerment in India through games and sports and highlights the issues and challenges of women empowerment in the field of physical education and sports. Sport is an integral part of the culture of almost every nation. However, its use to promote gender equity and empower girls and women is often overlooked because sport is not universally perceived as a suitable or desirable pursuit for girls and women. Today the empowerment of women in games and sports has become one of the most important concerns of 21st century. But practically women empowerment in games and sports is still an illusion of reality. It is observe in our day to day life how women become victimized by various social evils. Women empowerment is the vital instrument to expand women’s ability to have resources and to make strategic life choices. Empowerment of women in games and sports is essentially the process of upliftment of economic, social and political status of women, the traditionally underprivileged ones, in the society. Today sports and physical activity as a strategy for the empowerment of girls and women has been gaining recognition worldwide. Women could be empowered through education, sports and physical activities and by giving them equal opportunities in different walks of life. Research on sport, gender, and development indicates that sport can benefit girls and women by: Enhancing health and well-being, fostering self-esteem and empowerment, facilitating social inclusion and integration, challenging gender norms and providing opportunities for leadership and achievement.

Everybody before you was accompanied. I assume you are unaccompanied - you are alone? President Blatter: Chairman, Mr President, yes, I am alone. Petrus Damaseb: Thank you very much, sir. President Blatter, as you are aware, we have convened this afternoon as a panel of the Ethics Committee at the request of the Secretary General of FIFA. The circumstances under which we convene relate to, as you know, the forthcoming elections for the presidency of FIFA and the allegations that have been made around that. The reason you are present here is that Mr Bin Hammam, who is in his own right an accused, has asked that a case be opened against you and that was referred to the Ethics Committee. For the record, as the Deputy Chairman of the Ethics Committee, I chair this meeting because our substantive Chairman, Claudio Sulser, because of his Swiss nationality and the fact that you are a contestant in the elections is an accused himself and therefore, in that capacity, I chair this meeting. As you know, I am a national of Namibia, a judge of the High Court of Namibia. I have with me Justice Torres, a judge of the Supreme Court of Guam, and I have Juan Pedro Damiani. Damiani, do you want to just briefly tell the President what you do?

  • A Finger in Every Pie: How Qatar Became an International Power As Hamas’S Main Sponsor, Qatar Has Funneled Hundreds of Millions of Dollars to Gaza in Recent Years
    A finger in every pie: How Qatar became an international power As Hamas’s main sponsor, Qatar has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza in recent years. By Asher Schechter | Aug. 9, 2014 | 9:07 AM | Two weeks ago the U.S. signed its largest arms deal this year: an $11 billion sale to Qatar. In the deal, signed by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and his Qatari counterpart, Hamad bin Ali al-Attiyah, the U.S. will sell dozens of Apache helicopters, hundreds of Patriot missiles and hundreds of anti-tank rockets to the emirate. This news would cause far less discomfort if Israel had not been attacked by dozens of rockets every day, some of them funded by Qatari money. Three days after the signing ceremony at the Pentagon, Israeli troops went into Gaza and began exposing dozens of attack tunnels that were also funded in part by Qatar. As Hamas’s main sponsor, Qatar has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza in recent years. The country allows high-ranking Hamas operatives such as Khaled Meshal to reside within its territory, travel in private aircraft, stay in luxury hotels and live like kings. And it has been exposed — not for the first time — as one of the biggest financial supporters of radical Islamic movements throughout the Middle East. Qatar’s openly declared support of Hamas did not stop it from playing a starring role in the conference on Gaza that was held in Paris. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with the foreign ministers of Qatar and Turkey, Khalid bin Mohammad al Attiyah and Ahmet Davutoglu, to try to bring about a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

Salah satu persoalan yang menjadi pedebatan berbagai kalangan adalah ketimpangan gender. Film Dangal yang rilis pada 23 Desember 2016 ini menggambarkan ketimpangan gender yang diterima oleh Mahavir dan kedua anak perempuannya karena bergulat. Film Bollywood ini berbeda dengan film Bollywood lainnya, pasalnya film-film Bollywood lain yang diketahui masyarakat mengedepankan cerita cinta, nyanyian dan tarian, sedangkan film Dangal menampilkan cerita yang menarik, dan penuh dengan makna didalamnya.
