Without much fanfare, friniggi has launched it's social project: The friniggi 12th Girl project.
On our website
our mission statement reads:
friniggi's purpose is to enable Muslim women to participate in sports without compromising her faith. We aim to encourage sporting activities among Muslim women and to contribute substantially to the development of women’s sports in the global Muslim community
The 12th Girl project is how we're going to contribute to the development of Muslim women's sports and fitness in the global community.
MORE ABOUT IT:
in football there is a term: the 12th man or the 12th player.
It refer's to the fans who support the team.
The 12th Girl project is about encouraging Muslim women to exercise and play sports for the following reasons:
1. Muslim women are discouraged from doing exercise and sports by their cultures, depriving them of the associated health benefits.
2. Many Muslim majority countries have large scale poverty. Young Muslim girls with sports talent have natural ability to uplift themselves and their families out of poverty. But they need financial and moral support to get started. That's where 12th Girl comes in.
3. Sports keeps young people busy with little time for negative teenage activities.
4. Sports and exercise expose young people to a form of discipline and focus. Important for young achievers of tomorrow.
HOW WE AIM TO ACHIEVE OUR OBJECTIVES:
1. Sponsor sportswear for athletes (something friniggi has been offering for the past year)
2. Seek additional sponsorship where required to further sports careers.
3. Remove barriers:
a) Many sporting federations have dress regulations that do not accommodate for Muslim women. WE campaign to change this.
b) Remove cultural barriers through education. Dispelling misconceptions and educating people how Islam encourages sports and exercise for both genders.
4. Provide moral support to athletes giving advice on furthering careers or overcoming social barriers.
That is a really mission that you guys have. Keep up the good work!

The improvement of the lives of the Muslim women should be prioritised also because it been a criticism on term papers about the Islam faith that they've always become a paternalistic society and giving the ladies a very low society importance which is really unfair.
ReplyDeleteIt is often said that Muslim women are one of the least empowered groups in society. While some blame the religious traditions, they ignore the importance placed on women in society in early Islamic history. Using misinterpretations of Islamic texts and cultural justifications, patriarchal systems have consistently pushed women to the fringes, creating environments where women are largely unable to make their own decisions regarding career, family, and health. However, women today are reclaiming this space of authority and agency in order to protect and promote their dignity. frases bonitas
