This time, four years ago, we were starting our meeting in Cambridge: A Woman's Place is on the platform. This event was organised to offer Linda Bellos a platform after she was 'uninvited' from speaking at a student event. This is the film of her speech
Anne Ruzylo had recently been subjected to an orchestrated campaign against her, prompting the entire executive committee of her Constituency Labour Party to resign in solidarity. She spoke about this and her work in women’s prisons.
And our final film from our first ever meeting in Cambridge which took place 4 years ago tonight: Helen Steel spoke movingly of the relentless abuse women are subjected to in our daily lives & how it restricts our freedom.
Our blog today on organising that meeting and how it led to many more.
Together, despite authoritarian & anti-democratic attempts to silence us, women have asserted our right to freedom of expression and our right to self-organise. womansplaceuk.org/2021/11/23/wom…
