Organisation: The Just 4 Girls Group (J4G)
Issue: The opportunity to take part in non-traditional sporting activities
The situation: The J4G group provides a female-only environment that allows young women to overcome cultural barriers that may prevent them from attending other leisure activities. Group members formed a forum so that they could develop its activities. Specifically, they wanted to take part in indoor climbing activities and trampolining.
