"Ladyfest is an international festival which has taken place in over fifty cities since 2000 and, in 2009, Oxford will be holding in its second ever festival! In Trinity term last year, we had an amazing day with lots of wonderful female performers, and raised loads of money for Oxford Sexual Abuse and Rape Crisis Centre; this year we want the festival to be even bigger and better.

Lesbo Magazine
Political, cultural and social magazine, the successor of fanzine Lesbozine (1987-1988) and bulletin Pandora (1993-1996). It has been published since 1997 as a non profitable, free publication. Lesbo magazine aims at sharpening the critical and intellectual blades and at damage-control. It promotes stories, politics and views, arts and attitudes, practices and theories about the resistance and radical fights against homophobia and any other exclusive orientations. It breaks identity consolidations wherever they limit the diversity as an existential right; therefore it opens the issues, which are usually closed down by the social consensus: non-monogamy; underground; trans-gender and trans-sexuality; gender technology; pornography as activism; political manifestations; the catholic church and lesbianism; lesbian motherhood; lesbian trade unions; gay and lesbian studies; lesbian motifs in art; lesbians in cyber space; closet and scenes.

As such it participates in wider civil, political, social and cultural efforts aiming at breaking the massive walls of civil apathy, political ignorance, ideological terror and mind exploitation.

"Ladyfest Las Vegas is a women-centric arts and music festival put together by an all-inclusive group of volunteers. Our goal is simple; to showcase artistic, creative, and empowered women (past, present, and future) with a two day festival to be held agian in '07 probably in October. The festival will include, but not be limited to, music, visual arts, film, workshops, discussions, and a wide array of other women-centric activities to help promote the education and advancement of women in the Las Vegas Valley.

On Sunday, June 7th a group of anarcha-feminists took the stage at the Anarchist Conference 09 to protest about sexist oppression within the movement. They projected a film and read out a statement, both of which you can find below.

Their actions went on to provoke a huge response – with comments ranging from undiluted misogyny to militant solidarity.

The misogyny provided more examples of the sexism we all battle with when we try and make our voices heard. Such attitudes make the prospect of fighting back more intimidating, but also increasingly urgent.

Wir Frauen, a volunteer produced magazine, represents more than 25 years the same questions: Who benefits from the relationships? Who creates the conditions? Who pays the price? How can women resist, here and elsewhere? Where and how can they realize their ideas and concepts of life, their rights to self-determination and participation?
