Toca pra elas: desafios da cobertura no futebol masculino feito por jornalistas mulheres

Abstract

Football, historically conceived by men and for men, has always relegated women to a marginal position, whether as athletes, fans, or professionals. The presence of women in football environments has often been met with estrangement and questioning. However, as women began to enter this universe, contributing to its evolution and expanding their roles into areas such as sports journalism, they faced challenges imposed by a patriarchal society. In sports journalism, the work of female journalists is marked by a daily struggle against violence, disrespect, inequality, and the fight for the right to practice their profession. In this context, there arises both curiosity and the challenge of understanding, within the Brazilian setting, the greatest difficulties faced by these professionals, alongside accounts from women who chose this path not only out of passion for the sport but also out of belief in their own potential and in a fairer, more inclusive, and accessible football for everyone.
