'Athena Forum is a European think tank and strategic hub working to safeguard and advance sex-based rights across law, policy, and civil society — and confront their misrepresentation in public discourse.'

Faika El-Nagashi (ex Austrian MP) has founded this organisation. Looks excellent.

Good luck to them.

X. Dammit. Didn't want that to be the answer! I guess my esoteric came from a forlorn hope for some magical new font of overarching feminist wisdom. But then, thankfully, there's you! Seriously - thanks. Fan-girly (ugh) but I learn a lot. Athena's of huge interest, for various reasons - am planning to reach out to them. Thanks for taking the Twix bullet for those of us too cowed to venture there!

It's not very esoteric. It's X, and being subscribed to newsletters, that's all! Can confirm I'm very much not with it.

And a curiously hypnotic dog.

(now assuming from esoteric reply that you're somehow mysteriously in-the-know, and even more curious - but given I'm always the last to find stuff out, at work, locally, etc., probably it's that I'm really just not that with-it...)

Arabella, thanks so much for this. I've been wanting to ask for ages, how do you keep up with all this stuff? You're so quick with the links & news & updates, I don't know how you find out about and keep track of it all...

How about Lilith?!

Shame about the name. There is quite a well established Athena Network across Europe which is (I think) about promoting women in business. ie climbing up the greasy poll.

This sort of think https://www.bwcaberdeen.co.uk/athena-awards-2025

Parts of Europe (especially Germany I believe) are very gender-ideologically captured. Thanks for this - I subscribed.

Certainly wish them much success, it's an imitative that's badly needed.
