Papua New Guinea’s Basketball Federation (BFPNG) is excited to host the “Her World, Her Rules” (#HWHR) campaign this Saturday, celebrating the UN International Day of Girls.
This campaign is usually celebrated annually on October 11th; however, this vibrant event will be held on October 12th, in Port Moresby at the Taurama Aquatic Indoor Centre from 9 am to 1 pm.
The #HWHR campaign, backed by EuroLeague Women and the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), focuses on empowering young girls through basketball on and off the court, by providing advice and funding for several actions taking place as part of its global strategy.
According to BFPNG’s Female Engagement & Content Lead Program Quality, Ms. De’Lisha Koime, “This campaign aims to unite women and girls through basketball, and help define grass-root projects, especially targeting schoolgirls aged between 7 and 17.”
This year’s campaign promises an energetic atmosphere, packed with activities to grow the sport at the grassroots level. It’s a chance for girls across PNG to learn, connect, and be inspired.
National Federations worldwide are also part of this project, ensuring its reach and impact are global.
“If you’re a basketball fan or a supporter of girls’ empowerment, this is an event not to miss! Bring your energy and join in making it a slam dunk for girls in sport.”
“We would be honoured to have you join us for this exciting event,” BFPNG said in a social media post.
