Go Feminist – An exciting new feminist conference for 2012!
On 4th February 2012, come and join us to help shape conversations and debates around feminism including voices from the margins of feminism
About Go Feminist:
Showcasing some of the more marginalised voices within the feminist movement, Go Feminist attempts to make connections between debates within feminist activism and highlight the intersections of oppression. We aim to engage in wider discussions and approaches to make equality a reality.
The feminist story belongs to all women everywhere and Go Feminist hopes to broaden existing theory to include oppressions beyond patriarchy. We will be focusing on the most forgotten, vulnerable and marginalised, linking movements and sharing our commitment to ending injustice.
