India’s Women’s Hockey Team Achievement
Jump to Comments
In New Delhi last week, the National Women’s Hockey Team achieved something that no American national women’s sports team has: equal pay. Both the men’s and women’s team demanded a salary hike after excellent seasons, and after some struggle, both teams were successful. Next on the agenda for the women’s team is the establishment of annual contracts, a perk that has been promised to but not yet implemented with their male counterparts.
Though a professional sports team in an urban setting seems a far cry from WEP students, it is an interesting development in the lives of women in India and beyond - another encouraging example of progress and a positively changing landscape.
