The following is a list of those human rights – as articulated in the UnIversal Declaration Of Human Rights – which I believe are violated when the AFLW has a 12 game season and the AFL has a 23 game season.
ARTICLE 1. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
ARTICLE 2. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as ……. sex …….
ARTICLE 5. No one shall be subjected to ……. degrading treatment …….
ARTICLE 23. Everyone has the right to work ……. (AND) to just and favourable conditions of work …….
I am also deeply concerned that any female footballer or many female footballers, who wish to complain about the above, will be prevented from doing so, thus violating:
ARTICLE 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media …….
