Inspired by the Sex Matters Campaign to send Helen Joyce's book TRANS to MP's and others, and also by the craftivist collective, I'm thinking of putting together some sort of homemade Women's Rights Pack to send to people to ask them to support women and their rights.
My MP and the two others in our area are not on the Sex Matters list for receiving a book, I have donated a copy but to someone else, and I can't afford to send four copies of the book unfortunately.
So I was thinking of making up a kind of homemade information pack to send to various other people including those MP's, and including the following things in them, but I'm wondering what else might be good to put in them.
Covering letter explaining why I'm writing to them.
Ribbons and a Women Won't Wheesht badge.
Stickers - One about Single Sex Spaces and one Adult Human Female.
Some print-outs:
The History of Women's Public Toilets in Britain
JK Rowling's Statement
Maria MacLachlan's interview following the court case for her attacker
Fair Play For Women's information on Male Sex Offenders in Women's Prisons
Any other suggestions for what I could include to ask that the receivers act in support of women and girls and our sex based rights?
I'm thinking about making something else to go with the ribbons, badge, and stickers, something handmade and probably in suffragette colours, similar to the things the craftivist collective have done with handkerchiefs, hearts, clouds, and most recently canaries. Is there anything that particularly symbolises the issue that stands out to anyone?
