The Women's Department and BIPOC Department are holding a Feminist Consciousness Raising session!

This event is autonomous to ANU students who identify as women/TISGD/non-binary can attend but you do not need to identify as BIPOC to attend.

The theme of this session is going to be intersectional feminism, deconstructing white feminism and the role of anti-racism in the feminist movement. There will be snacks! If you're interested in intersectional radical feminism, getting involved with our collective or just curious about consciousness raising, come along and chat with us!

What is feminist consciousness raising?
Feminist consciousness raising groups emerged in the 1960s and were spaces for women to freely discuss their experiences and organise critically. Consciousness raising can be quite personal and emotional opportunities for reflection. It is particularly important to us that this space is welcoming to and deeply considerate of intersectional marginalisation and that it provides safety and healing for community members facing vast systemic injustices. 

"The ANU Women’s Department is a community of women and non-binary people at ANU. We support, represent and advocate for our members.If you are a woman, woman-aligned, have experienced gendered oppression as a result of being perceived as a woman, or are trans and gender diverse and find our services useful, you are can be a member of the Department".
