Norwich War Memorial, Market Pl, Norwich NR2 1NE, UK

Join us in Norwich!

At Let Women Speak we foster a community in which all women feel empowered to speak. We achieve this through our free speech events, they are free to attend. We are so proud that women across the world are using the #LetWomenSpeak hashtag as a rallying cry.

All Let Women Speak events are held in outdoor public places. Places are chosen so that they are as accessible as possible and not far from public transport.

There are no tickets, anyone can turn up, and anyone can speak (but we ask that men wait until the end). You can speak about whatever you like, these are free speech events.

As always, it is completely free to come to our Let Women Speak events, and no one will ask to see a ticket! However, at Let Women Speak we are very lucky to have an extraordinary team of stewards who give up their free time to enable women to speak. They are all volunteers, but we need to ensure that they’re not out of pocket. Each UK event needs a £2000 steward and security fund to make it possible. Thank you so much for your contribution to Let Women Speak! If you cannot contribute, please select £0, as this will give us a rough idea of numbers.

Oh no I’m so sad I’m away this weekend and won’t be able to go to this! Best wishes for all attending tomorrow.

I'm a bit worried about this.

8th june - be safe around city hall : r/Norwich (reddit.com)

On reddit 'let women speak' is being painted as a bunch of nazis. That's how the counter protesters will be viewing those in attendance. They will have it in their heads that you are nazis. They believe it 100%.

A poster on another thread (sorry, I've searched with several key words but can't find it) posted a flyer her son had been given at uni about the counter-gathering, including 'warning' people that if they don't arrive early, they may have to share the public loos with LWS protesters, shock horror.

The implication being that the LWS women nazi thugs are too dangerous to risk being in an enclosed space with them, or that men can expect to be challenged by LWS women nazi thugs if they use the women's toilets.

Sounds silly when written down like that, but it's this kind of ramping up of the alleged 'threat' from GC women that allows TRAs to justify their violence against us. Justifiable resistance to oppression and all that...

@AutumnCrow goodness, I don't know how I read it as £2,000 steward. Apologies!

Can all women speak on topics and if they do can they disagree with you in their opinions?

Yes that is the very reason for the events.

Although it is assumed the events are mainly speakers about women's sex based rights, some women have spoken about issues that they feel are important for them as a woman, eg child safe guarding.

Have you ever watched any of the recordings of the events?

This happens in every city that LWS events are held. TRAs try to whip up opposition with fake news.

But because on a couple of occassions police failed to protect women, most police forces now make more of an effort.

Norfolk police 'aware' of Let Women Speak event in Norwich

Can be read at https://archive.ph/F3mSf

Usually the worse thing is, is that the TRAs always have a really loud PA system and try to drown out women's voices with their noise.

What's a £2000 steward?

I read it a £2000 steward-and-security-fund. Per event. To pay all the volunteers’ expenses for the day - training, high viz, travel, etc presumably.
