Today we call on FIFA and all governing bodies to ensure that women working in the game, on and off the pitch, feel safe, welcome and supported. Our #OpenDoorsAgenda is a starting point for the transformation to a fully gender-inclusive sport. Join us in supporting the Open Doors Agenda as a first step towards the fundamental culture change needed for football to become safe, welcoming and supportive towards women. Find out more below and add your name to our list of supporters - the more voices that join our call, the louder it becomes. ℹ️ https://lnkd.in/eQYquwa4

With the new updated Football Governance Bill set to be reintroduced to Parliament in October, our friends at Fair Game UK are bringing former football players and executives together with MPs to discuss how we can work together to create equal, diverse, and inclusive football environments for all. #WomeninFootball director Kelly Simmons OBE will be speaking at the event at the House of Commons on Wednesday. For any WIF members in attendance, this reception is an excellent opportunity for networking between members of Parliament, peers and key stakeholders in football.
