Retaining women and girls in sports proves a challenge

Monyeki said even women who take part in sports struggle to maintain the expected beauty ideals and end up not unleashing their full sporting potential.

Monyeki said this at the Women and Sports Botswana (WASBO) panel discussion, which was held on Tuesday night. The discussion sought to identify ways to encourage more girls and women to participate in sports. It was held under the theme "Attracting and retaining girls and women in sports: What can Botswana do?"
