I think this looks interesting, I'm going to try to join even for part of it. I hope they cover something on how women have been affected by Covid, especially after I was incensed at the BBC's coverage on 'sex workers'.

Registration is open now.

In this webinar we’ll be looking at the social and historical context to show how the options available to women are systematically controlled against women’s interests. There will be two presentations followed by questions and discussion of what we can do to address this.

Lilly will be giving us a historical overview of prostitution and pornography and the position of women based on the work of, amongst others: Gerda Lerner, Marilyn French, Sylvia Federici and Andrea Dworkin.

Esther has a longstanding interest in research on legal and public policy approaches to sexualised violence and domestic abuse. She uses her own experience of porn and prostitution to reflect on these issues. Her talk will look at consent issues, the global reach of depictions of sexualised violence and what this means for women and girls.

This event is free, but you need to register in advance.

Thanks, that looks very interesting, and free too. I've just registered and am looking forward to it.

Thanks. Looks really interesting. I've registered.

Of course we have all had disappointments and cancelled plans due to coronavirus and if that is the worst we have suffered then we are fortunate. But I was sad that a couple of feminist meetings I had booked places on had to be cancelled, and now the Filia conference in October has been cancelled - I was so excited to be going to my first Filia!

Anyway, I am interested in the webinar format, maybe that is the way to go for some of these other meetings that had been planned ?

I think it has to be Fanny

My employer is talking more and more about online meetings and large scale conferences.

I prefer it anyway as I struggle with childcare at the best of times!

I'm really interested in this content as I haven't explored much of this and domestic violence and porn have been really typical during lockdown. I can only manage a short time but will definitely register too.
