Feminist Question Time with speakers from India, Malta, USA and Israel

Women's Declaration International (WDI) Feminist Question Time is our weekly online webinars. It is attended by a global feminist and activist audience of between 200-300. The main focus is how gender ideology is harming the rights of women and girls. You can see recordings of previous panels on our YouTube Channel. WDI is the leading global organisation defending women’s sex-based rights against the threats posed by gender identity ideology. There is more information on the website womensdeclaration.com where you will find our Declaration on Women’s Sex-based rights, which has been signed by more 30,000 people from 157 countries and is supported by 418 organisations.

Luba Fein - Israel

Gender Ideologists' Crusade against the Nordic Model - With the passage of the Sex purchase ban in Israel, a lobby of anti-Nordic Model organizations emerged. Among them were disproportionally numerous trans rights NGOs. At first, I was surprised. After all, the sex industry kills trans people, so how can you be a trans activist without being an abolitionist? But as I watched and learned more, I realized that this is a phenomenon that exists worldwide. Today I am here to discuss the underlying reasons for the contradiction between gender ideology and sex trade abolitionism and how it is reflected in our local struggle.

Bio: Luba Fein is an abolitionist activist promoting the Nordic Model in her country, Israel, where it came into force recently. She is also a volunteer for a UK based feminist NGO, FILIA.
