Your Invitation To FiLiA 2019

Calling all feminist campaigners, activists, artists, academics and revolutionaries. Calling all women!

We are the daughters of the women who came before us; women who fought for our children, our bodies, ourselves. Their legacy challenges us to keep fighting for the liberation of all women and girls today.

The FiLiA 2019 conference brings together sisters taking down patriarchy, fighting injustices across the world, fighting violence towards women, pay disparity, discrimination against refugees, racism, classism. No topic is taboo. All are welcome.

Day 16 of #16daysofactivismagainstgenderbasedviolence. From Fiona Broadfoot, Survivor of Child Exploitation and CEO of Build A Girl, whose panel at our October conference was heartbreakingly painful and riotously celebratory in equal measure.

In 2017, when allegations began to reach the mainstream media, Lupita Nyong’o was unable to avoid the memories resurfacing of her dealings with Weinstein. She wrote in her op-ed for the New York Times, “I have felt sick in the pit of my stomach. I have felt such a flare of rage that the experience I recount below was not a unique incident with me, but rather part of a sinister pattern of behavior.” #MeToo spreading virally in October 2017, as a hashtag on social media demonstrated the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace. #16days Is an International Campaign challenging violence against women and girls. . . . #16days #16daysofactivism #16daysofactivismagainstgenderbasedviolence #16days2018 #colourmeorange #orangetheworldin16days #orangetheworld #endvawg #vawg #domesticabuseawareness #nonstatetorture #fgm #cse #feminism #smashthepatriarchy #patriarchy #countingdeadwomen #MeToo, #TimesUp, #Niunamenos, #NotOneMore, #balancetonporc
Over #16days we have been amplifying the voices of women committed to challenging the an endemic global culture of violence towards women and girls. Today we quote FiLiA trustee Sally Jackson’s recent speech at The House of Lords, where she spoke about how the various forms of male violence against women fit the definition of torture and how as a state we are failing in our international obligations. Her full speech is reproduced on the BLOG section on our website. . . . #16days #16daysofactivism #16daysofactivismagainstgenderbasedviolence #16days2018 #colourmeorange #orangetheworldin16days #orangetheworld #endvawg #vawg #domesticabuseawareness #nonstatetorture #fgm #cse #feminism #smashthepatriarchy #patriarchy #countingdeadwomen #MeToo, #TimesUp, #Niunamenos, #NotOneMore, #balancetonporc
