Feminism is back! And this is celebrated this September in Amsterdam with the Fantastic Feminist Festival: The F-WORD fest.
The organisation:
"Our aim is to approach feminism from a broad, inclusive and intersectional perspective. The festival is packed with a variety of workshops and discussions on equality, feminism, anti-sexism, queer and gender politics. There will also be a movgie program and two nights of party with live bands and DJs. We want to create a welcoming atmosphere for all, regardless of gender, race, age, ability, sexuality or the amount of feminist scene points! We hope the festival will act as a catalyst for people to get more involved with feminist issues. It´s a great place to meet people, get involved, have fun and fill your brain with new ideas. The F-Word has something for everyone, so come join us!"
