Description
The University of Bristol Intersectional Feminist Society is one of the biggest of our kind in the country, and serves as a platform for discussion on issues of gender liberation, a campaign group for causes that affect opressed genders and a great way of meeting like-minded people. Established in 2009 we host external panels, debates and speaker events throughout the year as well as holding informal bi-weekly discussion groups on and off campus. We recently launched our ongoing iFemSoc bookclub and iFemSoc podcast as well as creating a virtual platform for women and non-binary people of colour on campus [PENGals Bristol]. In 2020 ran our first ever '16 Days of Activism' in November as well as collaborating with Women's Network on Reclaim! month in November.
Our society is the only Intersectional Feminist group on campus and we are keen to explicitly demonstrate our commitment to equality for all genders, races, sexualities, abilities, and ages, and their place within the Feminist movement. For many of our events we offer a pay-it-forward system of free tickets for LGBT+ and BAME students to help include everyone in the conversation. We are an intersectional Pro-Choice, trans inclusive, and sex-worker inclusive society and provide allyship to members of minority communities in Bristol.
Sign up to iFemSoc membership for discounted or free entry to our iFemsoc events throughout the year, plus make sure to follow our socials @BristolFemSoc on Instagram and 'University of Bristol Feminist Society' on Facebook. You can also sign up to our mailing list by dropping us an email at bristolfeminists@gmail.com or dm to our socials.
See you around campus or at our events and never hesitate to reach out if you have an issue/problem on campus you believe we can help with!
