Accrington Stanley defender Jay Rich-Baghuelou has today signed a code of conduct and agreed to become the club's #HerGameToo player advocate.
The Reds joined a number of clubs from the EFL and beyond to commit to the cause, creating further awareness to the problems faced in football by females.
#HerGameToo was founded by 12 passionate female football fans who are committed to growing the campaign with the aim of fostering an ethos in football in which women are welcomed and respected equally.
The non-profit organisation aims to create awareness, educate, research, develop a strong sense of community and create strong relationships with clubs, among much more.
Further aims include:
- Creating regular content to champion women in football (players, staff and fans).
- Creating strong relationships with club trusts and communities.
- Having a presence at football grounds and sports bars to build a more welcoming environment for young girls and women.
- Continuing to campaign against sexism in football and online abuse.
Rich-Baghuelou said: "I feel proud to be asked to be the club's player advocate as the #HerGameToo campaign is close to my heart.
"#HerGameToo is growing more and more, and is a huge part of stopping discrimination in sport."
