The London Feminism Meetup Group

This is a secular feminist group for anyone interested in discussing the current issues of importance to women activists - where the attitudes to women come from, and the campaigns against violence and abuse of women - politics, equal representation, pay, pensions and work; our role in the family & society,

Our next meeting:
Feminism for Boys and Girls
If we do not regain the initiative and look at the pressures on parents and children in inculcating stereotypical attitudes on women, race, gender, peace activism, religion etc. we will continue to suffer the consequences of a politically conservative, divided and violent capitalist society.
