Seeing Feminism Through 2020

3pm EST/8pm BST

To introduce Girl Up Edinburgh’s month long webinar series ‘Exploring COVID-19’s Intersectional Impact on Women and Girls Worldwide’, Girl Up leaders from around the world are meeting on July 26 @ 3 pm EST/8 pm BST via Zoom to share global experiences and understandings of intersectionality and misogyny. Looking back at the history of feminism, and those it has excluded, the aim of this discussion is to push us - the next generation of feminists - to envision what we want the future of feminism to look and act like.
