The home’s manager recommended that Anita undergo a hysterectomy, a major surgical procedure to remove her uterus and end her periods. Eirikur Smith, an official in Iceland’s disabilities office, discovered this plan last year during a routine visit to the home. And records show that the Istanbul treaty’s official watchdog has repeatedly criticized governments for not doing enough to protect disabled people. (The United States has signed but not ratified a separate treaty on the issue and sterilization laws vary by state). The result is that people with intellectual disabilities — mostly women — are still being sterilized, even when it is not medically necessary.

Female soccer players in Spain are going on strike as the club season begins, a union representative said on Thursday, as a dispute over conduct by the head of the country’s soccer federation widened into a fight with their clubs over pay. Early this month, the women’s players’ union announced that if working conditions did not improve considerably before the start of the season on Friday, the women would not play the matches set to begin this weekend. The dispute is playing out amid broader upheaval in Spanish soccer, with the firing on Tuesday of the women’s national soccer coach, Jorge Vilda, whom players had criticized for his domineering management style, and the filing of a criminal complaint against Luis Rubiales, the head of the country’s soccer federation, by Jennifer Hermoso, a player on the national women’s team whom he forcibly kissed during a public celebration of the team’s World Cup final victory in Australia last month.

Ms. Muñoz, who resigned in 2019 after a year on the job, recounted for the first time the reasons for her departure. (Mr. Rubiales has previously denied any wrongdoing in either case). Fifteen of the federation’s 18 board members were men, Ms. Muñoz recalled. Players tried and failed to force change last year over the behavior of Mr. Vilda, the now-fired national coach. Mr. Vilda also required players to keep their doors open at night until he could check that each of them was in bed.
