Period protesters at Wimbledon women's final demand end to strict 'all white' dress code. 🎾 'We want women to be able to focus on the tennis and on the sport and not have to worry about other factors when competing at this level.'
A group of campaigners say the rules are outdated and cause anxiety for women during theirRecreational tennis player Gabriella Holmes, 26, and footballer Holly Gordon, 28, started the campaign, Address The Dress Code, to highlight the issue.
They were also handing out fliers with a photoshopped version of the famous “Tennis Girl” photo, that shows a woman lifting her skirt to reveal blood-stained shorts rather than a bare bottom. The organisers said they want Wimbledon to “amend” the traditional dress code so that women can decide if they want to wear colours that make them more comfortable.
“We are already seeing tons of young girls who drop out of sports when they start their period or by the time they’ve hit puberty they’ve stopped sports altogether. She said that they are hoping the Wimbledon board listens and sits down to think about potentially making amendments to the dress code. “We want women to be able to focus on the tennis and on the sport and not have to worry about other factors when competing at this level,” she said.
