“As women, often, our body was the thing that should be seen and objected to, and I hate that there are girls there who do not feel a goal for their body, and therefore they want to change it constantly,” Maher told the Times last year. “To enter sport and sports such as the Runbi game, and sports like boat, the path and the field gives your body a target, and explains what it can do and what it can do. It is not just something to judge others.”

The research has found that only 53 % of girls between the ages of 6 and 14 feel confident during exercise and that 1 out of 3 girls stop exercising at the age of 14 years.
