you. put the ball is not just from the german has been fighting her whole life to make sure that that's true 1st keep her home country and then all over the world now in gambia. like everywhere the boys are reluctant to give up the pitch where they usually play. out i you out here for playing so go out we. go should realize that they can do what the boys can to. find us and so this was very much that's what we hope to do in this we want to give the girls that feeling that they can score goals they can feel proud of and i think the boys already learned that when they're young they have these successes and feelings early on when they get praise and positive feedback you can tell the children are laughing and simply happy that increases their self-awareness and self-confidence and that's something everyone needs to get through life even to be i want you to

get out quickly. you know i mean we had 9 balls before another only 2 for. what the walls are where all the other more. you can see it's impossible to train and keep track of your balls at the same time. that's africa football for girls was taboo here for a long time so he says or a plate for gambia the under 17 world cup in 2012 and scored one of their 2 goals merely qualifying for the world cup was a huge hit. meant for the small country i don't know how i went to how he was. to stop play football and he was about to. have babies because we have corley now we stand so now we want to walk and this i think you and i did a set time print these are long term pleasure because we have a lot to do and it comes to us. with the schoolchildren of monaco to lay the groundwork for the development of women's football.

gambia a small street on the atlantic coast surrounded by neighboring senegal is africa's smallest country it's home to around $2000000.00 inhabitants and is a young democracy until recently gambia was under a dictatorship plagued by human rights violations it's a country in a state of social change monica stop has already spent time in 80 different countries now she wants to spend 2 years here helping the country's development. here a development aid worker or however you want to call it. by trying to have the feeling in the end that i did everything i could it's a thinking feeling. this is possible. in this building since the gambia for the federation nothing like the powerful german football association. germany's ministry of foreign affairs and the german lympics

sports confederation have offered the gambian federation help and sent their most experienced help monica stop in germany she was the most successful women's football coach of the time. 4 championships fights german cup wins the 1st european championship for a german team she left her mark on the players and the sport. she helped women's football. long looked down upon really taken seriously become socially accepted. 11 years ago she decided she'd had enough with being president and coach at frankfurt the dominant german women's team in the ninety's she began a 2nd career as a development aid worker for women's football around the world. mostly in countries where women's rights are not a high priority she fights for gender equality not only in football but in life.

as a national coach in arabic countries like bahrain or qatar job was about sporting success but also giving the young women this self-confidence to have fun playing football despite all the obstacles. jordan could just on all the cook islands in 2014 she was honored as the german football ambassador of the area. with long term projects in 29 countries she has made quite an impact now she's on to gambia. good morning mr president oh. i'm meeting with the president of the gambia football federation. so it's about a project to bring football to girls in the elementary school curriculum.

you have to go to follow it and experience in that woman's world development and the pashtun. she has the disease and then the drive. through move. it most all of much younger but we kind of we're going to miss her speed and i think that's what we need because we are far behind i mean really need. to be able to who would develop. a stop a 60 years old saying the sorra is 20 for the next 2 years the 2 women are a team same evolved integrity and ditto football career early for the past year she's been working as the coordinator of women's football in gambia. well you say me is still young but she wants to learn. in 2 years with me c. definitely will learn a lot to know it's fun to lead the fight for the time being it's just a battle you can't win the whole war demeans the nation. the preparation time for

the next training their colleagues found an electric pump but how it works remains a mystery. to you better to leave it to the spats. you're working here and they're just standing there and watching a typical division of labor perhaps it's a question of bringing. forward the ball not there we go you know that's what the training field for the 1st division women's team abu car united one of the stop is leading the training today saying the sorra offsets. it's own former team. today the squad meets her new partner. they know what monica stop is doing for women's football in that country.

was that god what a bummer when you. think he. was. god yeah i know that god. was going to. want to stop what's nonstop next toss public relations in a television interview with paradise t.v. and a nationwide channel in gambia. in the 30 minute talk show the women can tell the public about their project and gain some attention. it's the 1st step.

on to the next step at a school in back in july until now only the boys have been playing football here that is supposed to change. monica has to convince the school director and teachers who will finance the project someone who i get the ball rolling. it. was in most places in gambia social change doesn't happen overnight. i try to like the 1st sparks but they have to keep the fire burning i can't do it all i can change. but i can show them the way and give them some tips. big. preparation for a 3 day seminar a group of elementary school teachers want to find out more about women's football . ok samy and monica put on the event with funds from the german ministry of

foreign affairs and olympic sports confederation. we want to learned a lot in germany about women football and fighting for women's football so now i'm outside germany and i want to give all my knowledge to everybody who wants to listen well once i want to put all the stakeholders in one table football is so shit school education ministry use in sports. i'm sure talk more later thank you. you only. know before. you don't wage that i was not allowed to play and germany. made it in the protocol of the searches of i will never let a yes no women. born 60 years ago in some back

monica star was the youngest of 3 sisters her father was a baker and a huge football fan who had been hopeful for a son still his youngest daughter picked up his favorite sport. is a. football was always there my father was always watching football and i think he really wished he had a son after the 3rd attempt they quit trying so i somehow ended up being raised like a boy i used to fight with the boys in kindergarten i remember a story a mother once came to my house and complained to my mom that i beat up her boy and ripped his pants my mother said well she must have had her reasons all the boys respected me. for. girls' teams didn't exist that's why the 11 year old monica just played with a grown up when she was self-assertive talented and hard working on the pitch.

is age 11 i wasn't really aware of what women's football really meant. that came later when i was 13 maybe when we played a pretty match with often boston in front of 30000 spectators. and then all the sudden the stupid comments came traded jerseys can i take a shower with you and i thought what's their problem. roles didn't apply in her family but society was still far behind. but i'm happy to introduce mr. and miss monica star you both told me to introduce you as women not to girls now i must ask you must both be under 20 right. i'm 18 and why is it important to you that you are called women. being blunt. it's not that important to me. since my these 2 of the most competent important players on the teams it's

a fall for the german ladies all women's championship today i'm i supposed to say ladies all women's championship. the association decided it's called ladies championship i like that in the background we have a couple of pictures that have to do with the amounts of patient of women in sport . and it was definitely a long and rocky road for the pioneering work we did over the years we had to constantly battle to prove ourselves i think we won in the end in 2003 the 1st world cup we won was at 7 o'clock on a sunday evening against sweden 15000000 people were watching. the battle continues in a different country the role of women in gambia is similar to that in germany in the seventy's. as a girl or woman to play football is far from the norm teachers have to learn to play the sport so they can then teach their female pupils. i'm.

not using the ball. not happy we want to make them what they're doing and we want to make them shut up shop they're always ready for a good. time and if he found that. she was. yeah and it might get them to them she can use and she's very innocent. what do you know if you have a. no time or place for boredom. as a. result. football can be a lot of work but still be fun the monocle method. the

1st day of the seminar is a success. at home with 70. monica get along very well they share the same outlook on a lot of things her family is well off in comparison to many they own their house thanks to say nice late father saini and her sisters were not raised with traditional gender roles they were raised to be independent. the following day many important discussions are lined up. first thing in the morning a meeting at the city hall in bangor via skype and so with the newly elected mayor . in her monaco start and saying he saw a hope to win over an important supporter it proves to be. the 3 women

share the opinion more must be done for gender equality and women's football. and their next appointment is with the minister for youth and sport they have to convince decisive influential figures about their project for bringing girls football into the schools want to stop and say nice is sora in that element i don't want to. bring in. the minister sais he will support very endeavor but he's spoken approval is far from enough. there's a lot of talk what really happens in the end and what we're able to put into place is an. i don't know if i'll really accomplish our goal but i will work towards it. started easy a channel which is only viewable on social media the next interview about the

project. every activity that we can do to help us gain the public's awareness is a must. to all. but the above. is. to give the viewers this is the. ocean. a working day for monica is often 18 hours long. next visit has been promised for a long time. and. the children to gaze orphanage have been looking forward to seeing monica i'm samy. girls of all

ages live here. fatu gate runs a clinic which is funded by donations. she's a midwife and here she houses 60 children. a strong woman's place for women. who are. then you educated 111. the kids one question if they go to school and tries to be like a foster mom. says i'm. trying with seine and monica is the highlight of their week. part of. the.

world class. and on it goes. the independent stadium can be as largest arena a performance by the police marching band in anticipation of the men's football super cup final but 1st the women get to play. league champions versus the winners of the cup. a must see event for monaco stop and say nice is soaring but not many fans have showed up yet. come in 4th and i'm sure more people will still come to see the men play but also get to see a bit of the women's game that's great and it's good advertisement for the women that will get. the stadium holds 40000 spectators. and about $100.00 have come to

see the women's game. monica has seen it all before the women's german cup final in 2002 took place preceding the men's game to a similarly empty stadium. she was coach of an important generation of female players big plans. for near. 5 german cup wins in a rugby team but they had to fight hard to win society's respect. i think here they are on the right track. the standard of the game is improving. this match sees red school paeans up against them terria i the players definitely don't hold back. no one can accuse the women of playing squeamishly or treading too lightly. i die hard

for match ends to no 4 and terry are the team of the police. easy. to get. in the end the prominent role models present the trophy in this giant stadium. another step forward for the women's game in gambia one day they fear they experience so many precious and moving things here that i hardly get homesick. at least it's not that bad social in this you know. the next day is the final day of the seminar for the elementary school teachers. that i was with that i'll be ready to do some work if. i d.j. sets the mood for the concluding tournament between. people say the adults have

a chance to put everything they learned to use. 84 girls from the school take part. in the while the teachers plan the sequence of events and organize the games monica can relax and have some fun. she organized the t. shirts the bowls and the equipment. the teachers have to execute the rest. if everything works they can organize it the game at their own schools and get the girls playing football. in. the hope that.

this is what monica stop wants to accomplish it works even without the girls have fun playing football and the teachers learn that this game is not only for the boys you. see. some of the you get out you know it's what you know now to the kids because i think it's important to let you get your education again to the next generation i learned a lot about it i would be. a lot. i don't know what i would. 1st small success the next step is to put the school program

into place monica continues to fight there's still plenty to do. an album to i guess you could call it an adventure of the stigma but i think of it more like tackling a challenge. of course i'm trying to accomplish something i think that's just my nature and it's what i've done so far in my life mostly was success. when i started something i like to see it through until the very end my since many of us under frank have been.
