The Professional Football Players Union defended that motherhood in elite sport cannot be considered "an act of courage", warning of the need for changes in the system to protect players who choose to become mothers.
The president of SJPF, Joaquim Evangelista, stated that "being a mother must stop being a challenge or act of courage" and that as long as this reality persists, the system needs improvements to guarantee better conditions for athletes.
The Professional Football Players Union continues to insist on negotiating a specific Collective Labor Agreement for women's football, whose proposal has not yet achieved consensus among the parties involved.
The SJPF presented a proposal in February, although the article appears cut off at this point, suggesting that negotiations on women's football players' rights have been ongoing for several months.
