Sport Opportunities for Women in Zimbabwe

The purpose of this project was to conduct an ethnography of women’s sports experiences in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Interviews with five women describe their personal experiences with sport and physical activity throughout their lives. The study also includes an examination of current community opportunities for sport and a demographic survey to highlight women’s attitudes towards sports. Cultural, social and economic factors stood out as the primary themes when these women described their experiences with sport.
