AC Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis believes football needs to fight issues such as domestic abuse. Not just in society, but also within the game itself. “I think football, in many ways, does reflect the issues in society. But it also has the ability to lead thought in a variety of areas and provide better examples.”

Mason Greenwood

Many football fans were shocked to hear Manchester United and England star Mason Greenwood arrested. He is under investigation for sexual and domestic abuse. Manchester United announced his suspension and many sponsors dropped him from their lists. FIFA 22 has also removed him from the lineup. The allegations were made by Harriet Robson who posted photos, videos, and voice recordings of the abuse.

“We can’t ignore the types of issues we see. You know, I’m very vocal about when we have issues we need to own them, we need to acknowledge them because it’s the only way we’re going to be able to find solutions.”

“One of the challenges that football has is that it’s very male-dominated. We still see that in leadership positions across the game. And that’s both in the on-field positions, by which I mean, technical staffs, but also off the field.”

“People like me, chief executives, and senior management figures. So, I think we would be benefited in so many ways in football to have a more diverse environment.”

Last month, Italy’s Supreme Court confirmed the conviction of former Brazil and AC Milan striker Robinho, who now lives in Brazil and played for the club before Gazidis arrived, to nine years in prison for his involvement in a gang rape in 2013, according to Reuters.

Gazidis became CEO of AC Milan, which has won 18 league titles in Italy, in 2018 having previously been CEO of English Premier League side Arsenal for close to 10 years.

“It’s not just this domestic violence and domestic abuse issue, we see a lot of issues across the game that has to be addressed. And you have to be proactive and acknowledge what the issues are before you can really take steps.”

Last January 26, a 20-year-old victim was abducted, physically, and sexually abused. Delhi police arrested 12 suspects and 8 of them are women. There are no current charges regarding the incident.

Chairperson of the Delhi Commission of Women Swati Maliwal said that the woman told her she was raped by three men. “There were women present (in the room) …instigating the men to be more brutal with her,” she added. “When I saw that video and I saw these women attacking this girl…it just makes you feel so angry and sad that you have such women who can do something like that.”

The victim’s 18-year-old sister watched the scene unfold in horror. “I was thinking of shouting, of telling someone, but the (accused) women grabbed me, saying they would beat me up,” she said.

Her sister delivered a bag of wheat to her house on the morning of January 26. Her sister came down to collect it when an angry mod rushed towards them. “They started hitting and beating my sister. This was happening in front of me, but I just stood there, I didn’t know what to do…I was frozen with fear,” she said. The group tried to snatch her sister’s two-and-a-half-year-old son, but she “somehow fought them off” and held onto him as the group bundled her sister in an autorickshaw.

The rickshaw stopped at the alleged perpetrators’ house, but she couldn’t see her sister, she went inside her own home and latched the door. Soon after, she heard the commotion outside, and from behind a wall watched her sister being led through the street as women hit her with rods.

Her hair had been cut off, her face blackened, and she had a garland of slippers around her neck — all actions meant to mark her as perhaps deserving of public shame.

R Sathiyasundaram, the deputy police commissioner of Shahdara district, said the investigation is still underway and would not say which laws the alleged perpetrators had been arrested under.
