#HerGameToo is a campaign that was created by 12 passionate female football fans to help eradicate sexism in the football industry and create a better and more inclusive atmosphere for female fans - now and for the next generation.

The Non-Profit Organisation is aiming to create awareness and want women and girls of all ages to feel confident and safe sharing their opinion about football both online and in real life without fear of sexist abuse.
