Female basketball players in Uruguay: the fight for equality | Video

Montevideo, Mar 4 (EFE), (Camera: EFE).- The dream of professionalism for women's basketball in Uruguay seems far away since they have to fight against inequality in a broad sense. Today the pandemic has become the perfect excuse to make them play in almost humiliating conditions.

SOUNDBITES OF ALVÍN FLORENCIA SOMMA, MALVíN PLAYER:

"It is a fight we have to continue to seek equality in sport. Some things have been happening that are a result of too many things. But we also think the way we have to keep pushing and continue growing is being here, participating and it is from inside.

We need all parts related to women's basketball to push forward and mainly (we need them) to be convinced that we all want women's basketball to grow or reaches a professional status."
