Head of Brand at Football Beyond Borders Ceylon Andi Hickman said: “The battle for inclusivity is still not done and frankly, girls deserve better."WITH ONE week to go until the start of the Women’s Football World Cup, Football Beyond Borders – an education and social inclusion charity – is launching an urgent appeal to fight the continued exclusion of teen girls from the sport.
In a bid to help girls break the grass ceiling to find more opportunities to play the sport, Football Beyond Borders has launched a free immersive experience outside London Kings Cross train station which will shine a light on the huge numbers of barriers young girls face and enable the public to experience them for themselves. The installation will be live for two days and is designed to build understanding of the barriers and to galvanise more support of the issue.
Provisions such as Football Beyond Borders need more adequate funding to ensure long-term engagement between staff and the young people they work with. Trusted adults lead to embedded relationships which prolong access to the game. She said: “I want to play football, but my experience shows there are more barriers for girls like me than there are boys. When I pointed out that not being able to wear my hijab would stop my ability to play, my school recognised that and changed their schoolwear policy. But what about all the other girls across the country who haven’t yet found their voice to fight it? They’re the ones missing out. Change is needed and I’m here to fight for that.
