Female fans feeling safe at Qatar FIFA World Cup

Female fans having a better experience at WC thanks to alcohol ban

Ellie Molloson, founder of the HerGameToo campaign which aims at refining female football fans’ experiences at stadiums, expressed contentment over attending Qatar FIFA World Cup games.

Molloson said:

I’ve got to say coming here has been a real shock to my system. There have been no catcalls, wolf whistles or sexism of any kind. I had all these preconceived notions about what I would encounter. The reality has been nothing like that. I’ve not experienced any of the harassment I have experienced in England. I don’t know how they have achieved that but it’s an amazing environment to experience.
