Baraya's petition was featured in the @WashingtonPost last week, shedding light on the sexual abuse faced by women in soccer & FIFA's continued inaction. Baraya says enough is enough & it's time for FIFA to protect their players. @TheEqualityLeague https://t.co/yv3A3idZMx

Women football players are demanding better pay and work conditions at the FIFA World Cup.

With FIFA’s $4 billion in reserves, there’s enough money to ensure a living wage to women players. #PayTheWomen

Women and girls everywhere should be free to decide what they want to wear. Stand up for the brave Iranian women and athletes fighting against the abusive, degrading and discriminatory compulsory veiling laws. #IranProtests2022 #IranProtests #IranianWomen

A year ago, the Taliban took over and banned all sports for women+girls as one of its first acts.

Afghan Women’s national team goalkeeper Fatima buried her football trophies+jerseys to save her life—and protect her family.

Yes to @TraceyLeeHolmes but @Olympics @iocmedia did NOTHING to help evacuate female athletes from AFG, please don’t give them credit where none is deserved

One year since the fall of Kabul. A shout out to incredible people who worked 24x7 rescuing 100+ women athletes & others @HumanRights4A @NikkiDryden @KatCraig1 @neil_fergus_IR. For Neil it continues, the arrival of another this past week. Story on @abcnews to come #Afghanistan

[Kalika Mehta @Journo_K]

"I knew if I stayed, the Taliban would find me, beat me and burn me alive. I thought if I got killed trying to escape, it would be an easier death."

One year on from the fall of Kabul female athletes from Afghanistan have been forgotten
