In this powerful clip from the Dr Sustainability Podcast, Janie Frampton shares a striking moment from her career as a football referee, when she arrived at a high-profile men’s semi-professional game and was immediately overlooked.
Despite being the appointed referee, the question was directed to the two men beside her: “Which one of you is the referee?”
Janie’s response was simple: “Actually, I am.”
This short clip explores gender bias, respect, resilience, leadership and what it takes to hold authority when others question whether you belong.
