Her Game Too is the initiative of 12 like-minded women, who are putting the message out there that football is not just a game to be enjoyed by men.

Tackling sexist comments and online abuse is something that the social networks themselves seem uninterested in, so the #HerGameToo team are tackling it themselves.

Oli talks to Caitlin Bennet, Amy Clement and Eve Ralph from #HerGameToo about a variety of topics under the broad umbrella of sexism in Football.
