In the bustling environments where market women and youth operate, the challenges they face are manifold. Long working hours, unstable incomes, and limited opportunities for recreation and social networking create a high-stress atmosphere that can lead to physical fatigue, mental stress, and social isolation. These factors not only diminish their productivity but also adversely affect their overall well-being.

Market Women’s Netball League for wellness and networking; IST conducts market community activation sports activities across the country where market vendors and other community members enjoy entertainment and at the same time receive information on prevention of gender-based violence. We intend to use sports to promote market women’s activism, connectivity and networking.

The sports activities enlighten the communities on their legal rights, sexual harassment, gender-based violence and unites them to campaign against gender-based violence and report cases having known their rights.
