Abstract
This study explores the development of women's
sports at the National Institute of Physical Education and Sports (INEPS) in
Porto Novo, focusing on overcoming social, cultural, and institutional barriers
that have historically limited female participation in sports. The research
aims to assess the progress made in promoting gender equity within sports
programs and identify factors that contribute to or hinder the growth of
women's sports at INEPS. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study combines
qualitative interviews with female athletes, coaches, and administrators
alongside quantitative analysis of participation rates, funding allocation, and
performance outcomes over the past decade. Findings reveal significant strides
in increasing female enrollment and competitive success, driven by targeted
policies, advocacy, and community support. However, persistent challenges such
as gender stereotypes, limited resources, and infrastructural constraints
remain. The study concludes that while INEPS Porto Novo has made commendable
progress in breaking barriers, sustained commitment and strategic interventions
are essential to fully realize the potential of women’s sports development.
These insights contribute to broader discussions on gender equality in sports
and offer practical recommendations for educational institutions aiming to
foster inclusive athletic environments.
