A banner calling for Arsenal to lead the way on tackling violence against women has been flown at tonight’s game against Crystal Palace.
A statement from Level Up said they “plan to disrupt the fanfare and demand the Premier League takes more action on ‘a culture of impunity around sexual violence in football’.”
Seyi Falodun-Liburd, co-director of Level Up said: “The Premier League are finally beginning to recognise the enormous influence that football has on our culture and our individual behaviours by introducing mandatory consent training. Arsenal fan Mikey Franklin added: “As a lifelong Arsenal fan, I want to see our club lead the league in fighting sexual violence. Anyone who is violent towards a woman must be held accountable, no matter how important they are to any team’s success.
