"If you could change one thing for Women's Football, what would it be?" This is a clip from the panel discussion & Q&A following the screening of the powerful documentary COPA 71 on March 16th, 2023, at the Institut Français, London.
As part of Women's History month Karmabank connected Amnesty's Football Welcomes project with the Institut Français, QPR & the FA for a screening + Panel + Q&A with UK & Afghan football players. Prior to the film, the IF showed a short intro trailer on Amnesty's Football Welcomes project. The event was introduced by Andrew Standen-Raz, Karmabank's Founder & CEO, and the para-athlete & para-contemporary dancer Ayuna Berbidaeva.
Who is on the Panel?
Since the COPA World Cup, the women’s game has come a long way, but only in certain parts of the world. In partnership with the Institut Français, Amnesty International and QPR Football club, we’re delighted to present a post screening panel where the panellists the real experience of the women’s game and the wider social impact of inclusive sport.
On the panel were Nicole Melling, Kasha Petit & Courtany Ward-Chambers from the QPR women’s football team, Najma Arefi who played for Herat City in Afghanistan before seeking asylum in the UK, Sandy Abi-Elias, Women’s Football Officer for Amnesty International and Maria Fernandes, representing the FA.
This was Karmabank's third-sports related film event with the Institut Français, and the fourth on the subject of female equality in sports and the arts, in a cooperation stretching back over 5 years to the charity premiere of Ai Wei Wei's "The Rest."
