QUB Gender Network

QUB Gender Network updated their address.

"The past year has forced many women to confront the inequality in their own life ... The effects of the pandemic will last for years, even decades ... Those who have taken career breaks to care for children are likely to be first in line for redundancies if companies need to downsize. The pandemic will have a long tail in which anger can turn into action"

"The coronavirus has been a disaster for feminism—and a huge setback for the gains of the past 50 years ... It has also smashed the idea that the developed world has no more use for feminism, and revealed that while women are divided by race, class, nationality, and plenty else, we still can and should talk about women’s issues "

The Pandemic Has Given Women a New Kind of Rage As Gloria Steinem said, “The truth will set you free. But first it will p**s you off.”

Details: TBA

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the impacts of climate change are ravaging the lives of many, both highlighting and deepening inequalities across the globe. We believe that all of these problems are rooted in Capitalism as a system of harm that creates and thrives on these inequalities on the bases of gender, race, and class. But change is possible; and feminism gives us a lens through which to imagine a better, kinder, and more equitable future for us all. So, together, let us ask: what kind of world do we want to live in? And what can we do collectively to get there? Let us use these crises be a moment radically change the order of things, to challenge the Capitalist power structures that try to oppress us and suppress our voices. Let us take action in our own communities and beyond to build a future that belongs to all of us.
