Let's not get here saying that: “a woman's place is wherever she wants”. But truth be told, it’s not wrong! The fact is that the path is not even close to reaching its end, but today, we can already see women gaining their deserved space, wherever they want to be.
And of course, when that place is sport, we have women doing what they do best too. Tell me what went through your head when Rafaela Silva won gold at the last Olympics. Or when you managed to watch the Women's World Cup games on an open channel.
If in the first situation you were so emotional that you even cried and in the second you were super happy to finally be able to follow the selection of Marta, Cris and company, this text was made for you! Get ready to meet women who are in the world of sport, but on the other side of the field.
We made a super list of sports content profiles and all of them produced by women, are you ready to find out a little more about who is behind the pages? So let's go:
Dominating the area
Rafaelle Seraphim started the project during the 2014 World Cup, with a blog to write about the competition. In 2017, Dominando arrived on Instagram with a post that talked about the search for affirmation of women's football in Brazil. The first post was not even remotely indicative of the size the page would reach. Starting with 75 likes and 12 comments, today Dominating the area has more than 11 thousand followers.
And with a wide range of content ranging from football news, championship tables, national team calls and memes. Dominating the area is a “ page to talk about football, debate, pillage your friends, but always with respect! ”
Rafaelle also told our weekly podcast, Toda Mídia podcast, that at first the followers didn't know that the page was managed by a woman. To hear this and other stories from the creator of the page, click here and follow the episode about sports journalism, which also featured the participation of journalist Carina Ávila.
Dibradoras
Journalists Angélica Souza, Renata Mendonça and Roberta Nina got together to put the Dibradoras project on air. Today they are present on various digital platforms, the official website , Twitter , Instagram and podcast .
Dibradoras explore content from various sports: football, volleyball, tennis, athletics, among others. Here, in addition to news such as game results, the page also explores the challenges that women face in the world of sport.
Some good examples of posts that have a greater positioning of creators are: The repercussion of the statement by beach volleyball player Carol Solberg Rob inho case and a celebration of a tennis Grand Slam with three mother players .
Genre Thing
The project is an extension of the Globo Esporte website, now GE, on which Lívia Laranjeira and Jamille Bullé write about topics that, for many, can be considered controversial. They have already talked about representation, objectification, aggression towards women, among other topics that are not seen as often on sports websites.
The project also has profiles on Instagram and Twitter , where they share texts published on the blog. And it is on social media that topics resonate most easily, which shows the need to speak openly about what the page proposes.
Reader Challenge
You probably like following sports, right? So why not make a little game now? The proposal is as follows: We are going to list some names of sports journalists here in Brazil and your mission is to count how many you know.
So here we go: Ana Thais Matos, Alessandra Xavier, Bárbara Coelho, Bruna Dealtry, Carol Barcellos, Débora Gares, Gabriela Moreira, Glenda Kozlowski, Janaína Xavier, Julianne Cerasoli, Mariana Becker, Mariana Spinelli and Renata Fan.
So, what was the result, did it guarantee the three points at the end of the round?
