Description
Naseema and her fellow paddlers are breaking new ground by encouraging women from east London's less advantaged neighbourhoods to embrace water sports that have often felt inaccessible to ethnic minorities. Instructor Naseema Begum says there is a "taboo" that prevents Asian women and those wearing headscarves from taking part in water sports. Wearing a niqab, the 47-year-old wants to show that "you can wear anything and go in the water. As long as you've got the right equipment... anyone can take part". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
