Feminism is sometimes a contested space and keeps changing in purpose and meaning throughout the ages. The fight for space and equality demands that each of us speaks our truths. This panel, bringing together young inspiring voices, will discuss feminisms, gender equality and the rights of sexual minorities, including through the lens of decolonial and intersectional approaches.
