Shifnal Town Ladies support Her Game Too

 Shifnal Town Ladies support Her Game Too movement.

Shifnal Town Ladies are delighted to announce that we have partnered with HerGameToo, a Campaign created to highlight the sexist abuse that continues to take place in football. 



HerGameToo was founded by 12 passionate female football fans; who are committed to growing the campaign with the aim of fostering an ethos in football in which women are welcomed and respected equally.

​

          HerGameToo aims to:

​

  • Create awareness

  • Educate

  • Research

  • Develop a strong sense of community

  • Create regular content to champion women in football (players, staff AND fans)

  • Create strong relationships with clubs

  • Create strong relationships with club trusts and communities

  • Have a presence at football grounds and sports bars to build a more welcoming environment for young girls and women

  • Continue to campaign against sexism in football

  • Continue to campaign against online abuse



The campaign was launched in May 2021 to widespread support on social media - leading to the campaign's hashtag #HerGameToo trending on Twitter in the build-up to the Emirates FA Cup final and launch video for the campaign gaining over 1 million views. 

Since the campaign's launch, #HerGameToo has surveyed just under 400 female football fans to build a wider picture of the experiences they have faced when attending games.

Shifnal Town Ladies management added:

Shifnal Town Ladies Football Club is delighted to form this partnership with #HERGAMETOO and intends to work hard to support the campaign to stop sexism in football.

The Campaign fits well with our club as we are a Ladies team and sometimes receive sexist comments about what we do and how we should not be doing it. 

Football is for everyone and we really want to relay this message. 

We ask all our supporters to take two minutes out of their day and help support HerGameToo.
