Declaring the Activism of Black Feminist Theory Convention
Trafford Rape Crisis Presents the Launch of their Black and Minority Ethnic Women’s Service and Hosts Conference.
The daily reality of living with the effects of racism and sexism mixed up with other pressures such as poverty, disability and homophobia is exhausting. The ways in which Black women are physically, emotionally and sexually violated and survive these experiences need to be understood in relation to racism and those other weights of oppression that press them down. In other words Black women survivors of racist patriarchal violence have very specific issues and specific needs which require particular strategies, knowledge and forms of action.
The "Declaring the Activism of Black Feminist Theory Convention" has grown out of Black women (in Manchester and beyond) voicing their desire/ need for mutual nourishment, inspiration and exchange of intelligence and support. It will be held at Longford Park Stadium Manchester, March 9th 2012.
