When it comes to conferences, conventions, colleges and universities, most offer a number of different activities. While some offer forums and panel discussions, others focus on feminist workshops. Most often, these activities are focused on a number of different issues related to women.
In some cases, conferences, conventions, festivals and rallies also highlight issues related to women. One of the most common those doing so are LGBTQ+ pride parade rallies. Whereas, recent marches and rallies for equal rights always host a number of feminist speakers and workshops.
There are also companies and individuals which provide workshops in this area. Two of these companies are often much better known than others. These include, Ambivalently Yours and Soapbox. For, these companies can provide workshops on-site, or will travel to other locations. Most often, workshops in this area focus on a number of different issues related to women and civil rights, women and equal rights, sexual harassment, equal pay for equal work and working with women whom have experienced rape or domestic violence.
Beyond workshops, camps focusing on these issues have also become popular over the last several years. For, women often enjoy being able to relax and enjoy the company of others of like-mind and talents. As such, these camps are now being offered in different areas throughout the year.
It should be noted that a camp is nothing like a conference, convention, festival or retreat. In most cases, these events provide a front-row seat to an overview of history and work in this area. While this is the case, most are still developed so that those in attendance can participate in a number of different learning activities while exploring more about issues related to women.
In addition to learning about the history and work of others, the camp also provides the opportunity for all in attendance to examine and get to know oneself better. In the process, many have not only gained insight into the personal and political view one holds but have also discovered new talents and interests. As these events are open to all women, regardless of lifestyle, political party, race, religion, sexual orientation or political persuasion, it is important those planning to attend have an open mind, for while political discussions often become heated, emotional abuse and violence are never appropriate, and will not be tolerated, regardless of differences in these areas.
Whether at a camp, conference, convention, festival or rally, well known female activists and writers are often invited to provide a keynote address. In many cases, these speeches work to inspire and motivate others to take on some aspect of a feminist agenda. Whether that be through creating politically inspired artwork, volunteering for a non-profit or volunteering time at a food bank, rape crisis center or shelter, these are all worthwhile endeavors which are often associated with feminism.
Whether attending a local one day workshop, a weekend conference, a convention or rally, connections made at these events can often last a lifetime. While this is the case, it is also important to share information learned in the process with others whom might never be able to attend such an event. In the process, a woman may very well help inspire and motivate others to work towards life that is equal and free of discrimination, harassment or abuse.
