Football is not just a men's game: young people in Bujanovac are changing the rules on and off the pitch
Who decided that football is primarily a men's sport? Why do girls and young women still so often face expectations that certain sports are not for them?

What changes when young people have space not only to express their opinions, but also to turn their ideas into concrete initiatives?
