The right of women to determine the language that describes us is not an abstract demand. It is rooted in the material reality of our lives. It is vital for us to describe our experience; to uphold & improve our rights. Our manifesto: womansplaceuk.org/wpuk-manifesto… #Cervix #Women #Lab21
Our manifesto has a long list of demands to be enacted so that society can begin to address the oppression and discrimination women face. We are tired of being told to wait for equality. We refuse to be told how and when we can make these demands or the language we must use.
The fact that there are so many demands is an indictment of a political estate which continues to fail women. Women have been repeatedly let down by politicians across the spectrum and organisations which should be advocating for and with us.
The rights we have were hard-won by our sisters before us. We are not about to give them up. The rights we don't yet have, we are determined to fight for. Women are organising. Nothing about us without us. Sex matters. #Lab21 #LabourConference #cervix #WomenWontWheesht
