SUMMARY:Feminists Responses to Attacks on the Welfare State!
DESCRIPTION:Feminist Fightback has been thinking about the gendered effects of the benefit cuts\, holding ‘Women at the Cutting Edge’ in 2010\, authoring ‘Cuts are a feminist issue’ and being involved in the Save Hackney Nurseries Campaign. \nWe have long wrestled with the dilemma of how to defend services while refusing to be satisfied with the inadequacies of the existing welfare state. In an attempt to think beyond this\, we will be hold a discussion on the idea of a basic income and asking what might be the potential benefits of this as a feminist demand. \nA basic income is a guaranteed income for all. Unlike the current benefits systems that distinguishes between ‘deserving’ and ‘undeserving’ welfare recipients\, the basic income is unconditional and breaks the link between income and work. Rather than having to defend flawed institutions\, is it now time to make a brave and transformative demand such as this? \n \nThere is no need to read anything before the meeting\, but you might find the following texts of interest: \nKathi Weeks\, ‘Working Demands: From Wages for Housework to Basic Income’\, chapter 3 of her book The Problem with Work (2011). An argument for basic income which draws on Marxism\, feminism and antiwork politics. \nWildcat\, ‘Reforming the Welfare State for Saving Capitalism: The ‘Guaranteed Income’ and ew reformist illusions’\, Wildcat-Zirkular No. 48/49 (1999). An argument against basic income as demand written as part of a debate on basic income on the German left in the late 1990s.

SUMMARY:The S Word: A Conversation on Feminist Sex and Relationship Education
DESCRIPTION:We are a group from a diversity of backgrounds with an interest in the attitudes surrounding Sex and Relationships Education. We feel that a key reason why much SRE for young people is unsatisfactory is that as a society we have problems discussing\, and having\, sex and relationships in empowering ways. We therefore believe that in order to change attitudes\, to question and become more comfortable with our own relationships and sexuality\, and in short to build a society which is less squeamish about sex\, we need to start with ourselves. \nThese ideas have grown into planning a platform for educators – in the broadest sense – to meet. We are all potential learners and teachers of SRE throughout our lives. Whether you are a sex-educator\, campaigner\, parent\, carer\, teacher\, health worker\, or are simply interested in the subject\, you are welcome to join us. \nOn Sunday 17th February 2013\, we are holding a gathering in the Whitmore Community Centre\, near Old Street\, London. An informal opening session will lead to three sets of two parallel workshops. Topics will include ‘Communication and consent’; ‘Where do our sexual values come from/ is our sexuality our own?’; ‘body image and sexuality’; ‘The language of sex’; ‘Speed Debating’; ‘non-heteronormative sex’; and ‘A manifesto for my sexual values’. \nRegister to attend at http://feministsre.eventbrite.co.uk/ \nThere will be a creche and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible. Please specify any childcare or other needs you have when registering. \nSuggested donations of £5 waged or £3 low/ unwaged will be requested on the door to cover venue hire.
