The Sports Desk - Is football failing to protect women?
Download Is football failing to protect women?
After the firing of North Carolina coach Paul Riley over sexual misconduct allegations we focus on a growing crisis in women’s football.
We hear from a US women’s star who played under Riley, who denies the allegations, and a whistleblower who exposed a similar case in Canadian football.
And with allegations emerging this week in Australia and Venezuela, we ask football’s governing body Fifa whether more needs to be done to keep women safe.
