Feminism in London 2014

[KarmaViolet]

Is on 25 October 2014 this year (half term) at the Institute of Education. Children under 12 go free, there is a creche and there are workshops for 7-11 year olds (mixed) and teenagers (girls only). Over 20 workshops and over 60 speakers, plus art exhibition, stalls, Red Tent, quiet space (with lava lamps!) and a lunchtime talk on women resisters to WWI. This year also has an international element with the Istanbul Feminist Kolectiv talking and a panel on sisterhood around the globe.

I'm involved in it so I would say this but I really think this is the best programme we've had so far. Hope to see some MNers there - I'll be the very very pregnant one!

i so wish i could go, it looks fantastic. i'm very envious of attendees who i am sure will get tons out of it

I'm going! My first feminist event, very excited!

I'll be there

I'm going.... travelling from the provinces to have another wonderfully feministy day.

I'm going. Booked on the STEM one in the morning and... another one in the afternoon.

I'm going. I went last year and really enjoyed it.

Looks good.

At first glance I can't see any info about disabled access.

Sorry I've been back, it is there but hidden in 'about the venue'.

I'd really like to go but don't think I can. And please please don't think I'm being picky but I have a question that would be relevant if I was attending. I have a carer, he is a he, would he be allowed to accompany me to this?

I'm going, really looking forward to it

Sashh, I'm sure I remember seeing something about disabled access and yes a male carer would be fine. There's a woman's only talk I think, but the rest are open.

sashh We do have disabled access and we have a volunteer who is co-ordinating any additional needs. A carer would get free entry, email the conference [email protected] if you're able to attend & want to sort details. A man would be fine in the mixed workshops and we can provide a volunteer to assist if you wanted the women only ones.

It's tomorrow!!

I'll be there!

Have a fabulous time all who are going. Not peed off that I can't come now in any way

Next year for sure.

I am on my way there now! Come and say hello if you are a MNer! > Click here so you know how to spot me!

Wish I'd seen this earlier - looks like a fantastic programme. Have an amazing day. Will try to be aware earlier next year ...

Been following it on Twitter. Looks like it was amazing. Hope you all had a brilliant time and feel revitalised in your feminism.

We (well, MN) were named!
I am mostly feeling v tired, as I am only just leaving Waterloo on the train just now.

Really gutted I couldn't make it. Defo going next year (with MiniMither in tow if needs be!)

The dates they had were 24 & 25 October next year - two days.

Already marked down in my diary.

It was a great day. And so lovely to meet some other MNers. Christmas puss up next.

And I got to see Gale Dines speaking, and Rachel Moran.

Oh, and sgm and the ending victimisation website won an award, so I got to meet her too.
