The first Ladyfest Torun happend 20.-25.3.2007.

"Over half of the population in Poland are women. However their voice is not listened to. Their needs are neglected, they do not participate in process of making decisions on the most vital aspects of their lives. This is especially evident in the distribution of votes within the Polish parliament: out of 460 deputies to the Seym (the lower chamber) only 94 are women. Out of 100 senators, only 14 are women.

What is Ladyfest about?

Ladyfest Torun (Poland) 12.-18. October 2009

Location

Torun
Poland
53° 0' 49.644" N, 18° 35' 54.3984" E

"Torun Ladyfest will be the first event on such a large scale, promoting feminist ideals in our region. For the six days, we would like to turn Torun into a city of women - city full of colour, diversity, dynamics... Into a place, where women of all backgrounds and affiliations will be able to present their talents and achievements. We also hope, that thanks to this event, the media will start to perceive feminism as an interesting and truely positive social movement. Therefore an emphasis will be put on art and 'the unconventional' activity that attract public and media attention.

An Interview with Judith (from Austria) at the Red Dawns festival, Ljubljana

Topic: 
LGBT and queer issues
Teaser Image: 

Please introduce yourself....

J: I’m Judith and I am 21 years old. At the moment I live in Vienna, Austria. I’m doing feminist things for some years. The last big thing I organised was the queer-feminist days in Vienna. I think what is important to me at the moment is that my activism is feminist, but it is not this ‘we are women and we are proud to be women and we are all the same’ and stuff like that. At the moment some anti-racist stuff is important for me and feminism with queer politics also.
