Join the NI Human Rights Commission as they showcase the people & sports promoting human rights for all. If you interested in sports, human rights & how both can be used to make a positive impact in our society, this is the ideal podcast for you.
To celebrate International Women's Day 2024 and to kick off Season three of Rights at the Finish Line we are delighted to speak with Simone Magill, footballer with Aston Villa and Northern Ireland International.
Simone tells us about her journey in football and the barriers encountered and broken as she blazed a trail in her rise to the top as Northern Ireland's first professional female footballer.
We explore how far female football has come and how much it still has to go in terms of equality and inclusion.
Simone also speaks about the power of education and provides advice for young girls today who are looking to play football whether recreationally or professionally.
