- Aston Villa Women Vs. West Ham United Women – Sun, Apr 28th 2024, 14:00
West Ham United are the visitors to Villa Park on Sunday as Aston Villa’s Barclays WSL nears its conclusion.
Carla Ward’s team take on the Hammers in B6 having lost to Chelsea last time out.
The club will also show support for Her Game Too at this Sunday’s game.
The club will help to raise awareness of the #HerGameToo campaign, which was launched in 2021 by a group of female football supporters who were determined to eradicate sexism in the football industry.
Aiming to ensure all women and girls of all ages feel confident and safe sharing their opinion about football both online and in real life without fear of sexist abuse, the campaign has attracted support from players, pundits and fans across the country.
Through Villa Bellas, Villa’s official women and non-binary supporters’ network, the club announced its support for the Her Game Too campaign in 2022, naming Sarah Breslin as Aston Villa Women’s Her Game Too ambassador. You can contact Sarah using the following details, Sarah Breslin: sarbres@hotmail.com
The non-profit organisation continues to create awareness, educate, research, develop a strong sense of community and create strong relationships with clubs, among much more.
Further aims include creating regular content to champion women in football (players, staff and fans), creating strong relationships with the Aston Villa Foundation to drive education in the community, having a presence at football grounds and sports bars to build a more welcoming environment for young girls and women as well as continuing to campaign against sexism in football and online abuse.
Via the All In initiative, Aston Villa is committed to avoiding and eliminating discrimination of any kind including sexism and misogyny.
