In the Collatino district, two players from the Roma Female Champions of Italy, Oihane Valdezate and Marta Pandini, were present at the “Amerigo Vespucci”. Approximately seventy students from the six fifth-grade classes participating in the meeting were engaged by the players on the issues of discrimination and gender violence, which AS Roma assiduously addresses in its community through the “Just Love Me” project. Valdezate and Pandini, recounting their experience as footballers who fight against prejudice and discrimination every day, extended an invitation to girls not to be afraid to come forward when they are victims of abuse and bullying. A contribution that confirms the central role of all the athletes from Roma Women’s Team in the project, of which they are convinced and proactive ambassadors.
“It’s always a pleasure to participate in the projects that the Club is carrying out within the community and offer our contribution to support these social campaigns,” commented Oihane Valdezate. “These commitments stir us deeply and enrich us in so many ways”. Marta Pandini was also very pleased with the meeting: “It’s wonderful to see so many boys and girls addressing complex themes such as gender violence together with us.” “This demonstrates that soccer can be introduced into schools, bringing enormous benefits,” continues the campaign, which the Club initiated in November 2020. Over the years, this initiative has engaged thousands of fans aiming to raise awareness and a sense of responsibility towards an unfortunately still widespread phenomenon. The “Amami e Basta” project aims to go beyond merely raising awareness, striving to create an active and concrete dialogue that engages the entire society. Thanks to the dedication of the players from Roma Women’s Football team, the message becomes even stronger: love should never be confused with possession or violence.
