Leila Pereira, president of Brazilian Palmeiras, starred in a press conference this Tuesday historical. Not for him content of his statements, or for advertisement in the course of some amazing news. On top of all this, the news media encounter, which lasted a quarter to two hours, had another reason why only.
And it was that Leila Pereira, tired, by his own admission in the introduction of his ‘collective interview’, of attending football meetings starring only menwho starred in press conferences with 30 male journalists and two or three female journalists, decided to call a tires just for women, as Relevo revealed on Twitter.
“I want them to feel for an hour what we, women, we feel since we are born”Pereira explained. “We don’t want to no privilege, the only chance to show that we are capable, that we want space in this world of football. We need say ‘enough’ in this situation, that can’t be normal. There is only one woman, only one woman, at the head of a big club in South America. Why is this happening? Because we suffer from restrictions that prevent us from getting to where we want to go,” he added.
The appearance lasted for almost two hours and at the end of it Pereira could not hide his pleasure at taking an initiative pioneerwhich he hoped would become a symbol of the fight for women’s equality in the world of football.
