Professional women's association football players have organized to dispute several issues specific to the sport, such as disparities in compensation compared to men's teams;[1] insufficient pay to compete with other women's teams;[2] unfair or exclusionary financial terms of federation business agreements involving the team;[1] a lack of minimum standards in facilities and treatment, especially compared to men's teams in the same federation, league, or club;[3][4][5] reports of systemic gender-related abuse of players, including sexual abuse being ignored by league or federation officials;[6][7] and a lack of benefits specific to women such as paid leave for pregnancy and maternity,[8] and child care coverage.
Disputes have been waged between national team players and football associations,[9] between club players and their teams and leagues,[9][3] between players and managers,[10][11] between referees of women's football and their governing organizations,[12] and between players and federations or laws that prevented women from playing or professionalizing the sport.[13]
Women's footballers have also organized their labour in support of causes outside of the sport[14][15] and aligned themselves with labour unions unrelated to sport,[16] sometimes in pursuit of broader societal goals around resolving gender pay gaps and addressing labour needs specific to women.[17]
