About me: Hello there, Our Mission Statement is below- but we don't always sound this boring, honest! We just want to try to make the world a fairer place by raising awareness and opening discourse about issues we feel deserve attention. We also like to meet great people and provide a supportive and fun space, so we meet up once a month in Dublin, Ireland.
If you are interested in feminism or civil/ human rights please say hi or become a friend.
Feminism is simply about equality for all, so we love hearing from nice folk like yourself or anyone interested in making the world a better and more positive place. Thanks for reading!!
We are a feminist collective and publication.
We are part of a movement for social change, and we believe that addressing gender inequality is fundamental to the creation of a fair society.
We aim to create a positive, non-hierarchical and unified space, which ultimately embraces values of respect and diversity.
It is our intention to open a feminist discourse and provide a platform for the exchange of information.
With Respect- Tonight July 15, join your hosts Celina Alvarez and Lynn Ballen for another fiercely independent edition of Feminist Magazine.
Elizabeth Sadlon from ‘Girls on the Run’ will join us to talk about the L.A. chapter of this nationwide program that shows preteen girls how to avoid ‘the girl box’ – and develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running.
And soon to be seen at Outfest: German documentary filmmaker Monika Treut takes a new direction with a narrative film exploring the relationship between two women and two cultures and the freedoms in Chinese ghost myths
Later, hear from two local authors: Terry Wolverton and Cheryl Klein about their newly published novels - 'The Labrys Reunion' and 'Lilac Mines' – with a shared theme of women coming of age in different eras who find ways to connect across different generational views of what feminism(s) are all about.
Tune in tonight, July 15, at 7:00 PM (PDT) to KPFK's, Feminist Magazine heard at 90.7 FM, Los Angeles, 98.7 FM Santa Barbara, and streaming live and archived world wide at kpfk.org
