Our names are Martha and Kate. We love football as we can prove to people that girls can play the beautiful game as well.
Martha and I have both played for the school team together many times which gives us a real buzz. As we have both experienced sexism we really hate seeing girls not being included because of their gender; we always try to encourage everyone to be involved and try any new sport as our school motto says be kind, be brave and be involved. Our message to you is girls can play football.
If so make sure you encourage them as much as possible and make them feel good about themselves. Have you ever experienced any type of sexism in the past?
If so ignore it and stay true to who you are. Just because you are a girl doesn’t mean you have to like the colour pink or you can’t play football.
Have you ever been sexist to anyone?
If so don’t do it again as it can really hurt people and knock their confidence.
Do you know anyone who has had their confidence by sexism?
Martha and I both want to play for our country one day. We also want to make sure that everyone can be able to experience different sports no matter what their gender is.
