English: Fatuma Abdulkadir Adan grew up in volatile northern Kenya, the daughter of parents from two warring tribes. Seeing the cycles of division continue through generations, she decided to challenge the status quo via a universal language: sport. She says of her youth soccer programs, which engage boys and girls from different areas: “No blood is shed; only sweat. We tell the young people, ‘Shoot to score, not to kill!’” Through sport, Fatuma has found a channel to address sensitive issues, from female genital mutilation to child marriage. Long-term, she says there will be even more impact: “The youth of today will be the parents of tomorrow.” www.inclusivesecurity.org/17-women-changing-world/
