International Women\u2019s Day last week, gave us a fantastic opportunity to promote gender equality and celebrate the achievements of women in sport.\u00a0 Our Female Football Development programme has thousands of Girls involved and is going from strength to strength, so Women\u2019s day was a great way for Community Trusts to share their success and recognise the contribution that women in sport make to society!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Falling on a\u00a0Tuesday, when Rotherham United faced top of the league Middlesbrough,\u00a0it seemed fitting to continue the celebrations throughout the night at that fixture. Various different guests were invited along to watch The Millers and to celebrate this annual event, some of the attendees included Brinsworth Whitehill Girls J.F.C, Rotherham United Ladies and participants who attend the ladies Boot camp sessions we deliver at Eastwood Village Community Centre, Thornhill Primary School and Blackburn Youth Club.

Crawley Town got involved with International Women\u2019s Day by organising a range of activities, including a girls\u2019 football quiz. Participants at one of our FFD venues were tested on their knowledge on the history of women\u2019s football, before they each made a #pledgeforparity. The girls chose football as the topic and pledged to improve gender parity within the sport by making girls football a hot topic amongst their friendship groups, joining a local girl\u2019s team, supporting a football team and attending more matches, and learning more about football.\u00a0After this, the girls participated in their usual FFD session, but named their teams after the players they most admired; Steph Houghton and Fara Williams.<\/p>\n
