Corinthians women’s academy attends talk on violence against women | OneFootball

The athletes from Corinthians’ women’s youth football academy took part last Wednesday (3) in an educational talk on violence against women. The activity brought together players between the ages of 13 and 20 and aimed to broaden the young women’s knowledge about rights, forms of violence, and support channels available to victims.

The meeting was led by lawyer and human rights specialist Daniele Akamine, who held a discussion focused on awareness and prevention. The talk also addressed the history of women in sports, especially football, a discipline that has historically faced barriers and prejudice related to female participation.

During the activity, the athletes shared personal experiences and situations they had observed both in the sports environment and outside of it. The space was also used to clarify doubts and carry out activities that encouraged the young women’s participation throughout the meeting.

Among the topics discussed were different forms of violence against women, including physical, psychological, moral, financial, and digital abuse. In addition, guidance was provided on how to identify risk situations and what paths can be taken to seek support and protection.

Commenting on the initiative, Daniele highlighted the importance of raising teenagers’ awareness about abusive behaviors that often go unnoticed in everyday life.

“We talked a lot about the difference between control and care, and the paths that lead to violence against women. More than that, we were able to show where to seek help and show that violence can have many faces and be carried out in different ways, many of them unimaginable. The good thing about what we saw here today is that there is a new generation of women who know what they want and are willing to break this chain, if necessary”, she said.

The action is part of the initiatives developed by Corinthians aimed at the athletes’ development beyond the four lines, promoting discussions on citizenship, human rights, and social issues relevant to the personal and professional growth of the young players.
