Sexism has been around all forms of societies for centuries, and sadly still exists today. From demands for equal pay to facing sexual harassment, women have always had a uphill struggle in the society. There has been a sense of optimism in recent years, with global movements and organizations pushing for equality of both men and women. However, sexism still exists and it starts from the environment children learn in. One example is schools limiting the opportunities for girls.

“Having a cricket team for boys and not for girls has definitely shortened our experiences,” says Simrika Basnet, a 10th grader. “Perhaps we should have approached the administration as well about this. But the boys did not have to talk to anyone to form a team of their own; it was a given to them.”
