A PLATFORM FOR CONVERSATION
We use organise talks, panels and workshops to give marginalised voices a platform, enabling them to be better heard and to hold space for their thoughts and lived experiences. We aim for our platform to be a space to create the conditions for productive dialogue and exchange of knowledge and experiences.
Our events are informal and open to all.
So often, we found that people feel that the only topic that women can talk about skilfully has to directly relate to feminism and what it means to be a self-identifying woman in our society. Women are so often tokenised, and that’s something that we are trying to work against.
The main aim behind these events is to give women a space in which they can explore their own ideas without being treated as a token of their gender.
