At 1pm this Saturday, 23 October, local group Women’s Voice is marching through Hastings. All women and supportive men are invited to march with them. Ann Kramer of Women’s Voice tells HOT why the march is so important.
Women’s Voice has received funding from Comic Relief to run various activities for women aged 16-26. The events aim to empower young women and provide spaces for them to discuss and challenge sexism. The first event, finding power through self-portrait, takes place this coming Saturday. Ann Kramer, chair of Women’s Voice, explains a little more.
In the wake of the murder of Sarah Everard, two events will be held this weekend focusing on the issue of violence against women: a launch of a video on domestic violence by Women’s Voice and an online vigil in memory of Sarah Everard and Blessing Olusegun. Nick Terdre reports.
As part of the lead-up to White Ribbon Day on 25 November, Women’s Voice is keen to highlight the reality of domestic abuse and coercive control. To do this, Women’s Voice is asking whether there are women locally who would be willing to share their experiences of domestic abuse. Ann Kramer explains the initiative.
If you’re out for a stroll along Hastings seafront, keep an eye open for a series of posters running the length of the seafront from the town centre to just beyond London Road. The posters, which were commissioned by Women’s Voice, mark the 50th anniversary of the first national Women’s Liberation Movement (WLM) Conference, which was held at Ruskin College, Oxford, in 1970. Ann Kramer, chair of Women’s Voice, explains.
