Kerry Harris is the founding Chair of Women Onside, a membership group that advocates on behalf of women in football and for women’s football. The organisation commenced in 2017 as a response to the governance issues at Football Australia and FIFA and to ensure that women were part of the discussion and were influencing decisions being made about football (soccer) in Australia. Women Onside have achieved some remarkable outcomes in their comparatively short life, including successfully lobbying for constitutional change that supports gender quality. In addition to sharing how that was achieved, Kerry shares with me how to really get stuck into the patriarchy by changing the system of sport right from the very top. And yes, folks, we talk about quotas and the enablers of a successful quota system to change the system! We also discuss the value of networks and networking when you’re dismantling the boys club, as well as a surprising and delightful fact that I didn’t know about Kerry.
