Basketball session for equality at the Madrid I penitentiary center
The inmates participated in a joint training session for International Women's Day as part of the Real Madrid Foundation's penitentiary programs.
The Madrid I women's penitentiary center hosted a basketball session in which the inmates participated alongside a group of players from the Madrid II penitentiary center. Organized for International Women's Day, the activity is part of the basketball program in detention centers that the Real Madrid Foundation has been running for over two decades, using sports as an educational, social, and personal transformation tool.
During the session, participants worked on technical skills such as dribbling, passing, decision-making, and teamwork. The focus of the day was the value of equality, promoting a shared space where women and men could train on an equal footing, collaborate in joint dynamics, and discover new ways of interacting through sports. The exercises and group dynamics encouraged equitable participation and confidence, ensuring that each person had genuine opportunities to engage, learn, and contribute to the group.
Commitment to equality
The session was highly appreciated by the participants, who experienced moments of camaraderie and self-improvement while strengthening essential personal skills for their reeducation process. Through initiatives like this, the Real Madrid Foundation reaffirms its commitment to equality, education in values, and the creation of safe spaces to foster new opportunities for the future.
