There are claims that break a nation’s socio-political schemes and go through other activities. A good example of this is women’s football, which in recent years gained strength in pursuit of women’s struggle and became a space where in addition to goal hugs, it also began to scream for an end to gender-based violence and equality in working conditions, among other claims. That’s why it wasn’t another date that took place this weekend in much of the leagues around the world. As part of International Women’s Day, many teams from different countries put their languages together in one and raised their voices for the same causes.
In Argentina, Boca, River, Racing, San Lorenzo, Huracán, are some examples among several of the clubs that joined the commemoration through videos or messages shared on social networks.
For their part, the players of Independiente went out on the court together with the players of the first team and made the historic greeting to the fans in the preview of the match against Central Córdoba.While Vélez, announced that he will hold a day of reflection next Wednesday, March 11 on the progress made, the work done at the club on the subject and the role of the woman inserted in the institutions.

On the one hand, they broadcast on the stadium screens an awareness campaign with definitions of what it means to be a woman. In addition, after each referee entered, a group of girls took to the court with the jerseys of the teams that were about to play, as if they were the headlines.
