I recently had the privilege of spending time with some trailblazers in sport as part of @AmnestyUK's first ever human rights festival. It was great to switch seats and chair my first panel on sport and women’s rights.

On the weekend I joined the South Asian women’s football festival @LCFC_Community in partnership with Seeing Is Believing (Gymkhana WFC). A brilliant event created for young girls and women to play in a non-judgemental environment, connect with role models and make new friends.

Thank you to Seeing is Believing for supporting Dream Like Me: South Asian Football Trailblazers at the LCFC in the Community event 🤝.

We all deserve to be our full selves while playing the sport we love. Join me in supporting Diaba — and all French Muslim women in sports who wear hijab — by calling on @ffbasketball & @FIBA to overturn their discriminatory ban. #BasketPourToutes https://t.co/wfRWnZmSLS

It was amazing to join @BrownGirlSport_ 1 year anniversary celebration at Chelsea FC. What a powerful panel discussion from teaching journalism courses from an anti-oppressive lens to navigating mixed heritage identities in sport. Incredible work @mimwalkerkhan !!! 💫

[Women Sport Australia @auswomensport]

It wouldn't be a women's sport event without her. Delighted to announce @ranahuss as a panel speaker for the #WISB23 this Friday. As one of the few women of colour in sports admin & media, Rana's journey has been marked by breaking barriers & championing social inclusion.

[MuslimWinS @MuslimWinSport]

Please share. Maryam is doing her dissertation on women’s experiences of wearing the Burkini in swimming pools in the United Kingdom. See flyer for more details.

[Mina Ibrahim @MinaFootball]

Nouhaila Benzina starts for Morocco against France. The first hijab wearing player at the competition in history. Friendly reminder that the FFF and France have banned those who wear a hijab from playing in France.

[Haifa @haifatlilisport]

In 2012, @FIFAcom authorized Muslim sportswomen to play with their hijab.
It took 11 years to applaud the first one from @EnMaroc who will meet @equipedefranceF in the 8th round.
Go🇫🇷 !! You are the perfect adversary 👇

@RimlaAkhtar Congratulations Rimla! 👏🏽
