Mujeres y niñas que juegan y entrenan al fútbol alrededor del mundo sufren abusos, acoso y explotación. Esto tiene que parar.

La campaña #FearlessFootball envía un mensaje claro a aquellos que dirigen el fútbol mundial.

Los testimonios de grave abuso sexual compartidos por los miembros de la Selección Nacional de Fútbol de Afganistán deben ser una llamada de atención. Los órganos que dominan el fútbol mundial deben actuar de manera inmediata para que las mujeres y las niñas de todo el mundo puedan jugar al fútbol en un entorno seguro, libre de acoso, coacción o abuso.

La crisis en Afganistán no es un caso aislado. El abuso que sufren mujeres y niñas en el fútbol es un problema internacional y el sistema actual está poniendo en grave riesgo a las mujeres y las niñas.

Por ello pedimos a todos los órganos que dominan el fútbol que prevengan el abuso de mujeres y niñas a través de una protección adecuada. Para obtener más información sobre los cambios urgentes que deben realizarse, lea nuestra Declaración de Principios aquí.
