A playground full of Lionesses by Lotte Wubben-Moy

After winning the Euros with the Lionesses, Lotte Wubben-Moy knew that more needed to be done in order to secure a sporting legacy for young girls in the UK.

Lotte and her fellow Lionesses wrote to the UK government asking to improve opportunities for girls to play football at school and this International Women's Day, the government has pledged that all schoolgirls will have equal access to football and sport.

Here is Lotte's open letter, reflecting on this achievement and what it means for the future:

When I was seven I would walk in the door from school and immediately leave again to go and play football in the street.
