She Moves Us is a communications platform Puma launched to create more space for women to be celebrated, championed and connected through sport, culture and values. In the platform’s latest conversation, footballers Nikita Parris, Fridolina Rolfö, Sara Björk Gunnarsdottir and Ingrid Engen shared their thoughts on the challenges of being professional level players ahead of the Women’s Euro in England.

While each woman comes from a different background and upbringing, they all share a similar feeling when it comes to how they’re unfairly stacked up against their male counter parts and forced to challenge the male standard in the sport.

"I’ve had to challenge male standards just by being a football player. I think most people in the world see it as a male sport, but for me it’s the same. We do the same. Everything around should be the same as well. So that’s what we’re fighting for and trying to show the world", says Norwegian National Team Player Ingrid Engen.

All interviews for the She Moves Us series can be found on Puma’s YouTube page. Other notable campaign contributors include Dua Lipa, Winnie Harlow, Cara Delevigne and WNBA stars Skylar Diggins-Smith and Breanna Stewart.
