Frisbee — Sports for Gender Empowerment

Assam Kickoff Solutions

About This Programme

Frisbee is a gender-neutral sport that was introduced specifically for young girls in Balijan, Chabua, Assam, to promote women's empowerment. The sport was chosen for its accessibility, low equipment cost, and inclusive nature.

The activity has helped girls participate actively in sports and challenge deeply rooted community taboos around girls playing outdoors. Trained by Anjana Majhi, the programme has grown into a regular part of community life and youth culture in the tea garden area.
