Helen is fighting for her daughter to have the same gender equality an English football club already has

ABC  

Like any parent, Helen Tyrikos doesn't want her daughter to face any obstacles in life due to her gender. "It's a decision that we took because we believe that the future of football needs to be more inclusive," said Maggie Murphy, the General Manager of Lewes' women's team. "So now roughly the attendances are about equal between the men's team and the women's team," Ms Murphy said. "We don't have to follow the same rules that have been set down by a men's club that has always done things in the same way for decades," Ms Murphy said. "I'd like to see authorising brands like Sport and Recreation Victoria, the ones that are handing out the funding dollars and putting things in place, force the clubs to spend a certain amount of money, a bit like Title IX in the US, for every dollar spent on men's athletes a dollar needs to be spent on female athletes."
