Barriers to participation for women in sports include gender stereotypes, lack of funding, and limited access to facilities and resources. Cultural norms often discourage female participation, reinforcing the idea that sports are predominantly male activities. Inadequate media representation can also perpetuate this mindset. Women may face challenges in securing equal training opportunities, sponsorships, and visibility, further restricting their involvement. Addressing these barriers is crucial for promoting gender equality and ensuring women can pursue their athletic aspirations without facing institutional obstacles.
