UN Women and FIFA have come together just ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand to advance gender equality in football, and help end abuse and discrimination on and off the pitch. According to Jennifer Cooper, Coordinator of Global Sport Partnerships in UN Women, women continue to struggle with fewer professional opportunities and massive pay gaps both on and off the pitch. She told Newsday: “For the 2023 Women’s World Cup, the prize money gap has closed significantly because FIFA was able to triple the money based on the 2019 Women’s World Cup, so I think that’s major progress. It still has a long way to go but there’s also a promise on the table that the gap will be closed completely by 2027.” (Picture: Shows an armband 'Unite for Gender Equality' with the kit worn by Saki Kumagai of Japan in the dressing room prior to the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 Group C match between Zambia and Japan at Waikato Stadium on July 22, 2023 in Hamilton, New Zealand.
