Sports are an effective tool to challenge the pre-conceived notion about the roles and abilities of girls and boys, women and men. “Congratulations to the Fijiana 15s team for their recent outstanding performance in the Women’s Rugby World Cup,” she said. “Our hardworking Fijiana 15s have defeated 11th ranked South Africa 21-17 to get their first historic win at the women’s Rugby World Cup. We are so proud of our young, energetic and strong women.”She said this was the recognition of the Fijiana 15s team’s achievements in stamping their mark in a male-dominated sport. The win, as she also wished the team well today, would empower young women and girls to encourage female participation in sports.
