The Chilean players' association officially became a union in December, and its president, Javiera Moreno, believes there needs to be women's representation in players' unions around the world.

I don't know if in other places the path will be to have a specific union for women. This was needed here, but I think there needs to be at least representation of women's players within every country's footballers' union.
