This event is in Leeds on 1st August. Organised by MN favourite, Lisa Muggeridge. A slightly different emphasis to WPUK and WNTT in that it's trying to tie together all the fronts that women are fighting on.
Here's the event page:

And here are the topics and speakers:
Kate Belgrave will be discussing the impact of public sector cuts and how difficult it is to get media attention to focus on the systems at stake.
Lisa Muggeridge will be discussing the policy makers, academia and media view of our benefits system, systems that protect from violence, child protection and social care.
Miranda Yardley will be discussing female erasure.
Claire Graham will be comparing two sets of statutory guidance for schools, to illustrate the impact of this blindspot.
We have supplementary speakers from fields including child protection and domestic, campaigners against the Spearmint Rhino in Sheffield, and people who want to discuss the managed zone in Holbeck.
