Forcing women into a situation where they become walking billboards for organisations and in this case of the Women’s World Cup, countries, that threaten their rights is not fair, and not part of the job.
A recent FIFA announcement that Visit Saudi - the Saudi Arabian tourism body - would be a major sponsor of the event is an outrageous decision that has been widely and rightly condemned by human rights groups and activists including @amnestyOz and former Socceroo @Craig_Foster
@Virginia_Hauss@VisitSaudi@FootballAUS@TheMatildas I started a petition against it. 10k+ people have signed to voice their opposition to the plan, and growing. Please sign and share! https://t.co/3ieQflPK21
The Greens support calls for FIFA to reject Visit Saudi’s sponsorship of the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

Petition started to stop Saudi Arabia sponsoring 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup https://t.co/eJps7C7jZB
#SaudiArabia is a global outlier on women’s rights.
So what is the state-run Saudi tourism authority doing as the newest sponsor of the 2023 WomensWorldCup?

‘A petition to get FIFA’s reported decision reversed has launched online..’
10,000 and counting.
Should be 100,000.
A sponsor cannot be attached to an event in which the State it is party to would imprison the many LGBTI athletes competing. https://t.co/5xhvxROJ6Y

There's a new petition to stop Saudi Arabia's tourist authority from sponsorsing the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. @mshawcoaching told me why she wanted to start it, and why we have to keep the pressure on. @WomensAgenda
