女力 - 運動與女性培力
你知道嗎？運動不只是好玩，根據聯合國統計，女性參加體育運動能增加教育與社會參與、學習與不同背景的人合作並增進寬容、挑戰性別刻版和歧視，並更容易成為領導者。
美國政府交換計畫學友推出女性運動影片"We can" 以及 女力 We Can臉書專頁。藉由一部90秒的短片，呈現出不同年齡、體態、運動項目的女性，讓更多樣貌的女性運動形象被看見。未來，美國在台協會與交換計畫學友將會推出一系列的女性運動講座，透過倡導女性運動，我們試著向女孩們展現出生活其他的可能性，以及能獲得成功的不同道路。
未來女性運動講座消息，請持續關注美國在台協會粉絲專頁。更多女性運動與培力的訊息，請參考：http://globalsportswomen.org/

WE CAN - Empowering Women and Girls through Sports
Do you know that doing sports and exercise are beneficial far beyond just being fun?
According to United Nation’s statistics, for women, playing sports can enhance educational and social participation rates, improve social inclusion from people of all backgrounds, and increase chances for women to become leaders. Women playing sports also encourages everyone to challenge gender stereotypes and discrimination. (Remember the FIFA Champion U.S. Womens’ Soccer team?)
To support and feature women in sports, Alumni of U.S. government exchange programs have released a video and a Facebook page “WE CAN” (https://www.facebook.com/%E5%A5%B3%E5%8A%9B-We-Can-433793346805341/). The 90-second video shows women of different ages, backgrounds, and physical conditions playing all kinds of sports. In coming months, AIT and U.S. government exchange alumni will host a series of programs on women and sports to promote gender equality. Through these events, we hope to show girls (and boys) that there are many options in life and different roads to reach your goals.
