Sport and sex: sex workers organising for the Olympics (Women's Fightback London discussion meeting)
Submitted on
Date:
6 July, 2012 - 19:30 - 21:30
Location:
Royal Festival Hall, Southbank (meet outside poetry library on fifth floor)
Description:
The Olympics will lead to more than just transport nightmares and hiked up rents this summer. Sensationalised government claims that sporting events lead to increased trafficking means anti-trafficking policies and policing targeting sex workers. "Clean up efforts" are already underway - raids and closures, harassment and arbitrary arrests are creating fear among sex workers.
Sex work remains a contentious issue for feminists - join us to discuss what socialist feminists say about sex work and how we can best make solidarity with sex workers this summer. We welcome open discussion and debate at this Women's Fightback discussion open to all self-defining women.
Feminism vs religion? (Women's Fightback London discussion meeting)
Submitted on
Date:
1 June, 2012 - 19:30 - 21:30
Location:
Royal Festival Hall, Southbank (meet outside poetry library on fifth floor)
Description:
Why are we hearing more from fundamentalist religious groups in social and political life? Do they represent a real threat to a woman's right to choose? If so how do we combat that threat?
What do we mean by, and what do we want from, secularism? Can secularism be compatible with freedom of religious expression? Why are democratic rights important to feminists, socialists and all anti-capitalist activists?
Come, engage with and take part in the discussion, open to all self-defining women.
