INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY | SHOWING OUR SUPPORT

We salute the women and girls that help to make our League so special

Today is International Women’s Day and to mark the occasion, various activities will be taking place at clubs throughout our four divisions over the weekend.

This year, Kick It Out are proud to be collaborating on a project with Her Game Too, to promote inclusivity and equality in football. This year’s theme is ‘Inspire Inclusivity’ and therefore a great opportunity for football to collectively share their support to ‘Kick Sexism out of Football’ and encourage reporting incidents of discrimination.

Last season, Kick It Out saw a 400% rise in sexism reports and continue to see a significant rise in reports every season. Therefore, now more than ever it is important to share the message around reporting and allyship.

Kick It Out have further plans around their sexism and misogyny campaign for next season, which they will share in the summer.

The Southern League fully supports this message and we salute the women and girls that play their part in making our League so special and inclusive. Happy International Women’s Day to you all.
