Baraya's petition was featured in the @WashingtonPost last week, shedding light on the sexual abuse faced by women in soccer & FIFA's continued inaction. Baraya says enough is enough & it's time for FIFA to protect their players. @TheEqualityLeague

Women football players are demanding better pay and work conditions at the FIFA World Cup. With FIFA’s $4 billion in reserves, there’s enough money to ensure a living wage to women players. #PayTheWomen

Još jedno brutalno nasilje oca nad ćerkom. Dobio sam informaciju da je u pitanju porodica koja dolazi iz Kine. Podnećemo krivičnu prijavu i protiv ovog monstruma.
