The issue of equal compensation between women and men has been relevant in Sweden after the DO acquitted the Swedish Football Association of wage discrimination in connection with the 2018 FIFA World Cup and 2019.
And in a post on social media two weeks ago, Kosovar Aslanni directed strong criticism at the Swedish Football Association and its gender equality work.
"It is not news that Fifa and Uefa are far from equal, but I want our union to send signals to Fifa and Uefa that we in Sweden want to be involved in CHANGING the world for the better, as our other Nordic countries have done," he wrote. she among other things and pointed out that gender equality is part of the union's values.
When SVT Sport meets Asllani ahead of tomorrow's European Championship qualifier against Hungary, she says that the issue of gender equality has been discussed between the women's national team and the association.
- The question has been on the agenda but it stays within the team.
But of course we have discussed it, she says.
Will you continue with these discussions?
- Absolutely.
Her statement on social media has attracted a lot of attention.
- For me, it is not about what we earn, but it is more about respect and that we have a value base that is about gender equality and we should aim for that.
I do not understand people who do not think that we should aim for gender equality, for me it is a matter of course to pursue that issue.
