Our home match against Oxford United on Saturday 18 March 2023 will see Morecambe FC support #HerGameToo as we continue to back the battle against sexism in football.
Who Are #HerGameToo?
Founded in May 2021, #HerGameToo is a voluntary organisation run by 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. Alongside working full-time in their day jobs, the team dedicate their hours around this to support the progression of HerGameToo.
At HerGameToo, the team see the value in everyone. They strive to be a catalyst for positive change, and they are driven by the same ideas they initially founded their Non-Profit Organisation upon: support, empowerment, and progress.
#HerGameToo Aims:
- 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
