The vast majority of female respondents to a new survey say they have experienced discrimination while working in football - and most of those who made complaints said no action was taken.
Some 60% of those who reported the gender-based discrimination said their complaints resulted in no action, of which 16% said they were not even listened to. There were 112 male respondents to the survey, which is the fourth conducted by the network - and the largest yet. However, 85% of the women asked and 91% of the men feel that opportunities for women in the football industry will improve.
