Feminist Question Time with speakers from USA

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.

This week’s speakers:

Melissa Farley - Sexism, Gender Identity, and Prostitution: ‘trans’ advocacy and ‘sexwork’ advocacy are political movements rooted in sexual objectification

Bio: Melissa Farley is a feminist research and clinical psychologist who founded Prostitution Research & Education in 1995. She and the organization and their many partners are celebrating their 50th peer reviewed publication on prostitution, trafficking, and pornography.

T. (Lesbians United) - Playing Offense with Pro-Lesbian Language - Lesbians United recently released a messaging guide that equips women’s and gay rights activists to fight back against sexism and homophobia more effectively using a positive, proactive messaging strategy.

Disclaimer: Women’s Declaration International (WDI) hosts a range of women from all over the world on Feminist Question Time (FQT) and Radical Feminist Perspectives (RFP) and on webinars hosted by country chapters – all have signed our Declaration or have known histories of feminist activism - but beyond that, we do not know their exact views or activism. WDI does not know in detail what they will say on webinars. The views expressed by speakers in these videos are not necessarily those of WDI and we do not necessarily support views or actions that speakers have expressed or engaged in at other times. As well as the position stated in our Declaration on Women’s Sex-based Rights, WDI opposes sexism, racism and anti-semitism.
