Defending Women’s Human Rights: Latest Updates
It has never been more important to stay up-to-date with news affecting women and girls FiLiA covers the latest feminist-related news and events from the UK and across the globe.
Amplifying the Voices of Women: The FiLiA Podcast
“Fab collection of podcasts on a diverse range of feminist subjects from the team at FiLiA UK. If you haven’t been to one of their life-changing powerful feminist conferences you really should treat yourself"!”
Listen to the latest episode:
“I can’t remember the last time I felt so at home with a large group of mostly strangers, the atmosphere was just wonderful.”
“I have found it incredibly moving, liberating, and enraging, in equal measure.”
“Thank you, and well done - considering this is accomplished by volunteers it’s nothing short of amazing”
“My first FiLiA conference and the best conference I ever attended!”
“It was incredible to find such a thriving lesbian community at FiLiA, and one that follows the actual true definition of lesbian. It was here that I think I found an independent lesbian feminist voice of my own!”
“Speakers - unimaginably diverse in content and background – what a wonderful thing for a first-time attendee to see ♥”
“I haven’t stopped talking about the inspiring women I heard or the situations they have been in or are in and the bravery of a lot of them. It was at time harrowing but it also gave me enormous hope.”
“FiLiA doesn’t shy away from anything and that’s brilliant.”
“Every year FiLiA energises me in a different way and I am so grateful for giving me this sense of belonging.”
“Jubilant, supportive, fun … but also sobering and serious. That’s how the best politically relevant gatherings are.”
“It was especially wonderful to see working-class women representing themselves and to hear their inspiring stories of activism. Too often we feel left out of feminism by the language used and access to events.”
