Ensure women footballers receive their dues
Our women's football team has won the SAFF Championship title for the second consecutive time. As they paraded in an open-top bus from the airport through the streets of the capital to the BFF office in Motijheel, the people of the city showered them with congratulations. Such success in sports has been rare for Bangladesh in recent years. They first won the SAFF Championship in 2022, and back then too, the girls celebrated in an open-top bus.
Isn't there also darkness behind the glamour in women's football?
Some indicators suggest how much change has occurred in society and the world. Among them is the life and livelihood of women. With the passage of time, there has been a fundamental shift in how women live their lives. By observing their surroundings, one can easily discern the changes. The past cannot be found in sync with it. Certainly, not all indicators carry the same implication. Just a few days ago, even in traditionally conservative contexts like Pakistan, there has been a surge in fashion consciousness and smartness among college-going girls, which contrasts sharply with the prevailing perception. This suggests that times have changed, perhaps even reversing course.
