The Wellington Young Feminists' Collective
The Wellington Young Feminists’ Collective has three functions:
Social – We are first and foremost a social group for feminists.
Learning – We are a place for feminists to share ideas, knowledge and encourage discussions.
Activism – We support a variety of activism on feminist issues.
Members (people who 'like' this page) can be involved with all or any functions that interest them. As we are primarily a social group, all activities are informal and we believe women having fun together and sharing knowledge is inherently powerful. Not all activities, events and learning will be on explicitly feminist topics.
Not all of our members are women, and we believe that ‘feminist issues’ are everybody’s issues. However, as one of the functions of this group is learning about and working toward improving things that are important to women, or currently disadvantage women, many of our posts will be aimed at, about, or primarily relevant to women. This is our prerogative to do so, and if this alienates you then it’s likely the WYFC is not a great fit for you.
We do not claim to represent all women or all feminists and not all members have to agree with everything in the Collective. Members do, however, have to sometimes agree to disagree and focus on what we have in common and what we can achieve together.
