IN a small village in Punjab, young girls are challenging gender stereotypes - by entering the male-dominated world of boxing. The 'Sher-E Punjab Academy' has taken it upon themselves to train the girls and help them achieve their dreams. The academy started up in 2006, and as of now, they have 40-50 young children training in their ranks. A large motivation behind opening the academy, was addressing the disparity that many were facing in terms of drug use, violence and other injustices in the village. Since the opening, the academy has developed athletes that have been able to compete on all stages - village, state, national and international.
