Accrington Stanley are delighted to announce that Rebecca Shaw has agreed to become the club's second #HerGameToo supporter advocate and will support ambassador, Jodie Boast, in championing the cause to create a safer space for women in football.
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.
ASFC #HerGameToo ambassador, Jodie Boast said: "Rebecca is a fantastic addition to our #HerGameToo team, she is enthusiastic and excited to get started and make a difference."
ASFC #HerGameToo supporter advocate, Rebecca Shaw added: "It is amazing to be part of such an incredible campaign to help empower women within football and feel safe and secure at any ground they go to.
"It is a huge honour to be part of Accrington's #HerGameToo team, helping it to grow and develop and I can't wait to see where it takes us."
