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 […]
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. We have long wrestled with the dilemma of how to defend services while refusing to be satisfied with the […]
If you require childcare for this meeting please email feminist.fightback@gmail.com.

The feminist movement has long grappled with the […]

Lizzie Borden) is an incredible docu-drama/ sci fi film set in the future, ten years after a social democratic revolution which has established American Socialism. However, Black and working-class women are not happy with this form of reformism and start arming themselves and forming the women’s army to bring about […]

What is the connection between day-to-day workplace organising and wider anti-capitalist struggle? What is our role as ‘revolutionaries’ in our own workplaces? What kinds of workplace struggles open up possibilities for wider and more fundamental social and political change, and what kinds simply reproduce existing hierarchies and end up containing class struggle? This discussion event […]

Over the last few years, the space outside many abortion clinics in England has become contested. Right-wing religious groups have been making their presence felt outside clinics, both with prayer vigils complete with hymns and religious icons, and through the deployment of specially trained ‘pavement councillors’ who make great efforts to stop women going into […]

A religious anti-abortion group are planning a procession from their church to a nearby abortion clinic. We can't let this go unchallenged - they might have a right to express their opinion, but they don't have a god-given right to stand outside a clinic, peddle lies and intimidate and harass people. As well as making […]
