A new book in town and it is entitled: Challenging the Status Quo: Women's inclusion in the men's football. It is my my campaign for equality and inclusion for women footballers to have the same rights, privileges and incentives as their men counterparts. I urge you to join the campaign. https://lnkd.in/e383E3dF

As a mum to two young female footballers and a staunch supporter of equality, diversity and inclusion throughout my professional and personal life, I cannot hide my shock at the decision of Thornaby FC to disband their entire women's section. I don't often get on my soapbox but I can't believe this is happening in 2024! Football, much like any industry, thrives on diversity and inclusiveness. It's disheartening to see decisions that set us back when we should be moving forward. Over the years, I've witnessed first-hand the astounding benefits diverse teams bring to any sector. With these 100 players now left without a club, we're not just depriving them of a team—we're withholding inspiration from young girls everywhere. The message this decision sends to young female footballers is that their male peers are somehow more important or more valuable to the club, and that's just unacceptable. However, amidst the disappointment, I draw optimism from the news of the sporting world rallying around the women at the club and board members stepping down. This reshuffle offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that perhaps from the backlash, a more balanced and equitable future for the club can emerge. #EqualityInSport #DiversityandInclusion #Headhunting

Today marks International Women's Day. 💗 A day where we celebrate women's achievements. At Fly, we are passionate about providing women with a safe space, where their dreams and ambitions are closer than they once believed. We are not just a brand; we're a community where female fighters are seen, heard, and respected. We're committed to making the world of combat sports a welcoming and empowering space for all women. Women's sports have come a long way over the years. Evolving from being insignificant and overlooked to becoming a thriving industry with many role models and influential athletes being ‘household names’. There is still more we can do in helping to reshape the social attitudes towards gender inequality in sports. Challenges for women in the industry are still rife. In recent years we have seen more headlines around the topic of “The first women to..”. However female athletes continue to demonstrate strength, resilience and determination, helping to inspire the next generation. Here's to us 💗
