More than 70 #self_defense clubs are providing training in #Iran while about half of them provide training programs for #women. The best self-defense trainers are mostly #men. Due to the #laws of the #Islamic #Republic of Iran #prohibiting men from training women, some women seeking more professional training opt to be trained by men in spaces rather than the legal clubs.

در ایران معمولا مردان هوادار و فامیل ورزشکاران حق ورود به استادیوم هایی که مسابقات ورزشی زنان در آن برگزار می شود را ندارند...

“We’ve got 47 chromosomes and you 46; you’ve got one less”

Exactly this extra chromosome causes differences in walking and speaking of Dawn-Syndrome afflicted children compared to the others. Their legs are shorter and they are shorter than the others while being more weighed. Therefore, the need for exercise is more evident in these children.

They exhibit hyperactive behaviors when kept at their homes for a long time. Experts say that assigning Dawn-Syndrome afflicted children to small groups of exercise and game-play and inviting them to active participation in appropriate moving spaces are of high benefit for them.

They practice neither for competition nor for medals; Athletes, even sometimes shy, whose single, deep crease of palms make them stand out. Just because they have 47 chromosomes and the rest of people one less. In Iran, in every 1000 births, 10 births are diagnosed with chromosome abnormalities. Experts predict that in case of pregnancy after 35, there would be approximately 2500 births with chromosome abnormality annually. Experts also believe that putting people with Down syndrome into small groups of exercise and game-play and their active participation in sport and proper moving spaces would be of high benefit. Angels of Wall 47, an Iranian institution dedicated to supporting 47-Chromosome children, have made sports possible for children with Down syndrome through establishing the first ever down syndrome wrestling team in the world.

آنها برای رقابت و گرفتن مدال با هم تمرین نمی کنند. ورزشکارانی بعضا خجالتی که دستان کوتاهشان آنها را از بقیه متمایز میکند. تنها به این دلیل که آنها ۴۷ کروموزوم دارند و ما یکی کمتر.
در ایران موسسه‌ای با عنوان «فرشتگان دیوار ۴۷» در راستای حمایت از کودکان ۴۷ کوروموزومی، با تشکیل اولین تیم کشتی سندروم داون جهان، امکان ورزش کردن کودکان سندروم داون را فراهم کرده است.
در ایران به ازای هر یک هزار تولد، ده تولد دچار اختلالات کروموزمی هستند که پیش بینی کارشناسان ژنتیک این است که در صورت بارداری مادران بالای سن ۳۵ سالگی در کشور ایران سالانه ۲۵۰۰ نفر با اختلالات کروموزمی بدنیا می آیند.

Half time with the cancer
.
It is an easy task for football fans to watch a football match in the stadium. But it could be a dream for a minority of them. A number of cancer-afflicted children having passed through the polluted air of Ahvaz and the dusty roads to Al-Ghadir Stadium, made their dreams come true and managed to watch one half of the Esteghlal-e Khouzestan and Persepolis match during the 9th week of Iran premiere football league.
They struggle for life not for the ball.
