ball bounces around
all eyes on the football match
we hear your silence

    Such a powerful way to make their point – and at a far greater personal risk than a paltry yellow card.

    The image of a woman in full hijab, and in tears, supporting her team at a football match she wouldn’t have been allowed to attend in her own country was equally as moving 🖤🖤

      Those players, the actors, the competitive climber and so many other public figures, standing up despite the risks.
