About us:
The Three Hijabis came to life after the final penalty kick in Euro 2020 through a viral petition to ban racists from football, that reached over 1 million people in just 48 hours and created a watershed moment that centred the conversation around people of colour and race within sport.
We have created a multiracial platform tackling racism in football, sport and wider society.
Our focus is make football and sport inclusive and safe for everyone and use it as a vehicle for anti racist action and social justice.
Alongside this we understand the way in which systems of oppression overlap and the need to be committed to tackling gender based violence within the game.
As three women with vast experience in the violence against women and girls sector we apply our understanding and expertise of race and gender to tackling these issues.
