Glasgow Feminist Network - readings and discussion against gendered violence

By Jess McCabe | 25 October 2008, 13:05

In the run-up to the 16 Days Of Activism Against Gender Violence Campaign (for more info see http://www.cwgl.rutgers.edu/16days/about.html) Glasgow Feminist Network would like to invite you to a reading and discussion on Saturday the 8th of November from 6-8pm at Borders Buchanan Street, downstairs in the basement.
At this event we will explore the aforementioned issues, whilst also looking at positive actions (this could range from action taken by women’s groups from around the world or actions you have taken personally) that have been taken in the struggle against gender violence. Those who attend are encouraged to share their views and to bring along readings they would like to share (this could be taken from a book, films, poems, articles, songs, anything goes!) which have perhaps shocked or inspired you.

Free entry; refreshments provided; women and men welcome.

Thanks for posting this, Jess!

We had a similar event for International Women's Day earlier this year, and it was a huge success - I expect this one to bigger and better!

I started picking out what I'm going to read today!

I hope to see F Word readers there!

In order to keep this blog as a feminist and friendly space, comments will be subject to some rules. We do not seek to censor debate: the beauty of the internet is that anyone can set up their own blog or website to express their views.

This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
Trolls will be banned from commenting. We get to decide who is a troll.
No anonymous comments - please feel free to use your real name or make one up, though.
Be nice.
