BEIRUT: Lebanese women are fighting a silent revolution on the soccer field through the popular club program of Danish NGO Cross Cultures Project Association (CCPA). Haifa and Huda are two young women on an important mission; they want to change Lebanese society by promoting gender equality and giving young girls the opportunities they didn't have themselves.
