An Indian female student from The Talented Girls and The Superstars Yuwa School football training teams kicks a ball during a practice session at a football training ground in Hesatu Village, some 16 kilometres from Ranchi on March 23, 2015. The Yuwa NGO runs a school and football programme in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand offering education and football coaching to girls from villages where they would be traditionally expected to give up their education and get married at around the age of 15 or 16. Divided into teams whose names they chose themselves, the girls attend class and training sessions in the mornings and afternoons as part of a programme that offers support, friendship and education to empower students to shape their own futures.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a young Indian girl showcases her impressive football skills during a practice session at a training ground in Hesatu Village. The image captures the determination and passion that radiates from her as she kicks the ball with precision and grace. This talented student is part of The Talented Girls and The Superstars Yuwa School football training teams, an initiative by the Yuwa NGO in Jharkhand, India. This organization aims to provide education and football coaching to girls from villages where societal norms dictate early marriage instead of pursuing their dreams. The girls are divided into teams of their choosing, attending classes and training sessions throughout the day. Through this program, they receive not only academic support but also friendship and empowerment to shape their own futures. The photo serves as a powerful testament to the transformative impact that sports can have on individuals' lives. It symbolizes breaking free from traditional expectations imposed on young women in rural communities. Photographer Rebecca Conway skillfully captures this moment of strength and resilience, highlighting how these girls are defying societal norms through their dedication to both education and sport. This inspiring image reminds us all of the importance of empowering young women to pursue their passions fearlessly while challenging gender stereotypes along the way.
