SWF Livestream: Feminist firebrands

Next date: Friday, 24 May 2024 | 04:00 PM to 05:00 PM

Plot the pathways forward with these incendiary feminist voices

Four waves in, the feminist fight for equality is far from over. This panel brings together the powerful and incendiary feminist voices of leading writers and activists Hannah Ferguson, Sisonke Msimang and Jennifer Robinson, discussing freedom of speech, politics, racism, xenophobia, belonging, identity, taboos around sex and pleasure, as well as the legal judgements that continue to silence and disadvantage women.

Be inspired by the feminist firebrands who are fighting for social change. Hosted by the inimitable Jo Dyer, this is an examination of the most pressing issues facing women today.
