Mia Khalifa Berikan Dukungan untuk Perempuan Iran yang Dilarang Memasuki Stadion di Negaranya

Pada intinya Mia mengungkapkan bahwa olahraga sepak bola merupakan bagian dari kehidupan yang dapat menyatukan laki-laki dan perempuan, larangan itu membuat dia meneteskan air mata.

Dia menyatakan para perempuan di Iran layak dan pantas diizinkan untuk memasuki stadion.

Negara dianggap menindas perempuan jika larangan itu tetap diberlakukan.

 

Sometimes I complain about the realm of sports being too much of a “boys club” and feel overwhelmed in trying to break into it and make my voice heard. I now feel ashamed that I’m not using the voice I do have to speak up for those who can’t. Sports is a unifying, beautiful part of life that everyone who wants to should have a chance to experience. My first love wasn’t a boy, it was a team. My first heartbreak wasn’t a boy, it was a too-early hockey exit. I’ve shed more tears of sadness, and joy over sports than I can count. I understand fighting to be allowed in sports media, but I can’t fathom the idea of not being allowed to enter stadiums just because of my gender. These women deserve better, and a small step is to let people know what is going on in these oppressive countries by spreading the word. #WorldCup #SportsIsForEveryone
