The success of Feminism in London over the last few years has helped
us reach a big milestone – we have been granted charitable status.
Our new organisation is called FiLiA, a word meaning daughter,
reflecting our intention to steadfastly continue the work of our
fore-mothers to create a better world for our daughters.
FiLiA aims to:
stand in sisterhood and solidarity with women and girls throughout the
world in our collective struggle for economic, political and social
liberation
contribute to growing and strengthening the Women's Liberation Movement
work tirelessly and effectively to analyse, understand and dismantle
patriarchy in all its forms everywhere
Throughout the conference there will be stalls, art exhibitions, quiet
chill-out rooms, and more.
A free creche will run through the morning (9:15 – 12:15) and the
afternoon (13:15 – 18:30).
Children's workshops (age 6-12 recommended) are available and are free.
Children and infants are welcome during the main sessions at their
adult's discretion.
Lunch is not provided but can be bought at any of the many nearby
cafes, or you are welcome to bring your own.
