They won't shut us up, no matter how hard they try.

[tw: sexual h*rassment & ass*ult]

Last night (April 12, 2024) was marked by several protests in the Brazilian women's football community.

Teams such as Corinthians, Avaí, Cruzeiro and Palmeiras protested against Santos' decision to rehire coach Kleiton Lima, which had been reported last year by 19 Santos players for moral and sexual harassment. 14 of the nineteen players left the club at the beginning of that season, but at no point did they withdraw their complaints.

The argument used by the Santos board to hire Kleiton again was that none of the allegations had been proven to be true and that, in fact, the board had contacted some players so that they could explain the entire situation. These arguments were quickly refuted after several players took a stance on their social networks saying that such contact never happened.

At the beginning of this year, Santos had already been involved in a major controversy after inviting the former player convicted of rape in Italy and sentenced again in Brazil, Robinho, to a barbecue on the club's premises.

Situations like these only show how even the word of a large group of women is of no value to top executives, or any other man. The situation became even worse in the game between Santos vs Corinthians that took place last night.

Corinthians players and the entire coaching staff protested during the national anthem and in celebration of the goals scored by the team. The game ended with a score of 3-1 for Corinthians, but the worst detail is the goal scored by Santos.

After tying the match in the 14th minute of the first half, Santos player Ketlen ran to the edge of the field to celebrate the goal by hugging Kleiton.

As long as women like her try to silence other women, we will never evolve as a society.

If you are a victim of a situation like this, or any other, look for your rights and report it.

"I don't normally focus on myself, on Marta. I try to focus on the whole picture, on the collective and what we have been doing together and our evolution. you know what's cool- when i started playing, I did not have an idol - a female idol. You guys (media) did not show any female games. How was I supposed to see other players? How could I understand that I could play for a national team and become a reference? Today when we come out on the street, people stop, parents stop and say 'my daughter loves you, she wants to be just like you'. And it's not just Marta, it is other athletes as well. Today, we have our references. This would not have happened if we had stopped at the first obstacles we faced. It is a continuous persistency. It did not start just with me but with a lot of other women back then but we are all very proud. We ask our generation to continue to do that and inspire more girls and more boys, no matter their age." - Marta on her legacy.
