99 yrs ago today, the FA banned women for 50 yrs from playing football on affiliated grounds. As we look back at this, I question why gender discrimination is still rife in the women’s game

Today the female football clubs of Scotland are asking @scotgov to address this #SameGame
With nearly 300 men’s teams & ONLY 18 women’s teams granted professional exemptions in the tiered protection strategy, already underserved pops of adolescent girls and women are facing a modern day ban on their game.

#EqualityinFootball #SameGame
A cold, dark Scottish winter with no access to facilities or training prompts concerns of safety from gender-based violence, a decrease in PA, increase in social isolation & further marginalisation.

We urge @NicolaSturgeon & @JoeFitzSNP to address this gender discrimination.
If you are a female football club/official/player, please get in touch to share your story & help support this appeal.

To our allies, please express your support by getting involved in the conversation & writing to your elected officials to express your support. #SameGame
