One Win Leads to Another - Empowering young women and girls through sport

"One Win Leads to Another" is a joint programme by UN Women and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to empower young women and girls through sport in Brazil. As part of the Olympic legacy, UN Women builds the leadership skills of adolescent girls through quality sports programmes, improving their ability to influence decisions that impact their lives at all levels. The project creates safe spaces for girls to break social barriers and equips them with basic economic skills, increased knowledge of their bodies, and the confidence to access services in the event of violence. The project is being implemented in partnership with Women Win and Brazil’s National Olympic Committee, and supported by the Swedish Postcode Lottery Sport Foundation and Always LikeAGirl.
