Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this article is twofold: first, to understand the reality of gender disparities in sport in South Sudan, which has not been fully understood; and second, to examine the effects of sporting event interventions, such as whether they can improve gender disparities in sport. In order to achieve the research objectives, quantitative household surveys, focus group discussions and key informant interviews were conducted with Juba citizens before and after the national sporting event held in Juba in 2020. Regarding the reality of gender disparities in sport in Juba, contrary to expectations, we found that more than 75 per cent of men and more than half of women play sports in Juba. However, a breakdown by sport shows that the sports actually played and participation rates are highly skewed by gender; men for football and women for volleyball. Furthermore, it was found that the national sport event intervention increases the probability of playing sport and the number of days playing sport for women more than for men. These findings suggest that the more sport events can be held, the more gender disparities in sport can be improved in South Sudan. In South Sudan, where patriarchy persists, the results show that increasing women's participation in sport may not only reduce gender disparities, but may also entail a change in the traditional social norm to date that women should focus only on childcare and housework.
南苏丹朱巴国家体育赛事对妇女和体育性别的影响
摘要本文的目的有两个:第一,了解南苏丹体育运动中尚未完全了解的性别差异的现实;其次,研究体育赛事干预措施的效果,例如它们是否可以改善体育运动中的性别差异。为了实现研究目标,在2020年朱巴举行的全国体育赛事前后,对朱巴公民进行了定量的家庭调查、焦点小组讨论和关键线人访谈。关于朱巴体育运动中性别差异的现实,与预期相反,我们发现朱巴75%以上的男性和一半以上的女性参加体育运动。然而,按体育项目分列的数据显示,实际参加的体育项目和参与率因性别而异;男子踢足球,女子打排球。此外,研究发现,国家体育赛事干预比男性更能增加女性参加体育运动的概率和参加体育运动天数。这些发现表明,在南苏丹,举办的体育赛事越多,体育运动中的性别差异就越能得到改善。在父权制持续存在的南苏丹,研究结果表明,增加妇女参与体育运动不仅可以减少性别差异,还可能改变迄今为止妇女只应关注育儿和家务的传统社会规范。

期刊介绍: Forum for Development Studies was established in 1974, and soon became the leading Norwegian journal for development research. While this position has been consolidated, Forum has gradually become an international journal, with its main constituency in the Nordic countries. The journal is owned by the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) and the Norwegian Association for Development Research. Forum aims to be a platform for development research broadly defined – including the social sciences, economics, history and law. All articles are double-blind peer-reviewed. In order to maintain the journal as a meeting place for different disciplines, we encourage authors to communicate across disciplinary boundaries. Contributions that limit the use of exclusive terminology and frame the questions explored in ways that are accessible to the whole range of the Journal''s readership will be given priority.
