About this collection
These media features highlight our 'Simply Periods' initiative in Bihar, which has already supported over 700 athletes and coaches through data-backed workshops. We track every intervention with rigorous metrics—measuring infrastructure access, hygiene gaps, and policy efficacy—to build scalable, permanent solutions for sports organizations.
Our media presence is a testament to our philosophy: policy must be built from the ground up. Whether it is a feature on our menstrual health kiosks at the Khelo India Youth Games or reports on our governance reform work, every mention is rooted in field data. We do not operate from ivory towers. When we advise on sports policy, it is informed by the same hands-on work that sparked the 'Simply Periods' movement.
Why Our Approach Gets Attention
- Evidence-Based Consulting: We utilize our own proprietary methodologies, like the Simply Berry tool, to collect data on athlete welfare, governance transparency, and infrastructure quality.
- Gender-Sensitive Governance: We challenge the status quo by advocating for women in sports leadership, anti-harassment protocols, and period-friendly sports policies.
- Scalable Impact: Our work in Bihar serves as a blueprint. We have successfully transitioned from local grassroots pilot programs to shaping state-level sports codes that prioritize athlete protection.
If you are an administrator, a state body, or a private academy, you will find that our advice is rarely theoretical. It is designed to be operationalized. We focus on practical execution—drafting codes, setting up Internal Complaints Committees, and ensuring that athlete welfare is not an afterthought, but a core component of your organizational DNA.
Simply Sport Foundation
We focus on the gaps others ignore, like menstrual hygiene for girls or contract rights for young players. We are not just here to talk about problems; we build systems that support every athlete. Let's make sports fair for everyone.
