00:00What's your name?

00:01My name is Sapna Srivastav and I'm from Sports Academy as a coach, a women coach.

00:08A lot of families do not support women to pursue their careers in sports.

00:13What do you have to say about what are the barriers that Indian women face in terms of promoting their careers in sports?

00:20Okay, so as a women's sport, look, barriers are so many.

00:26Those who are middle families do not support much, they also want.

00:31Money, which is important for any other thing, doesn't it?

00:37What do you think about money?

00:38There is a little mindset because when I talk to people, they say,

00:41no, this is a second option.

00:44Because there are seasonal games, there are seasonal tournaments,

00:47they don't have money, so not only to start off their careers,

00:50but also to sustain their livelihoods and money.

00:53So there are also a lot of problems.

00:55Yes, this is the main point, that they don't support them.

01:00There are many things, but what do they increase here?

01:04Like, people don't, why do they do their parents?

01:06Like the boys, like the cricket.

01:08We can see that the boys are going to the cricket.

01:12If cricket matches, you will see it.

01:16You will see it.

01:17If both of them are going to the cricket,

01:21then the boys, who play cricket in India,

01:24you will see it compared to girls.

01:26The media coverage is very low.

01:28We don't get so interested.

01:30Like they have won the world cup,

01:33their families will appreciate it.

01:37and they will also appreciate it.

01:41So it can happen wherever and wherever.

01:45Wherever and wherever,

01:46if one or the other can see it,

01:48they will also be involved in the cricket

01:51or other activities.

01:53What should we do in the government of India,

01:55or we as the citizens of the country,

01:58to promote to ensure that there is equality

02:00between both men and women?

02:02There are other companies,

02:04like the boys who play cricket,

02:06they promote them.

02:08Yes, yes.

02:09So the boys who play cricket,

02:11they promote them.

02:12They promote them.

02:13They promote money without thinking.

02:15As compared to girls who play cricket,

02:17they promote them.

02:19So if we see here,

02:23the sponsor's ship,

02:24the main impact is also very major.

02:26Because they don't have the sponsor's ship,

02:28they will raise things up there.
