"a new group aiming to provide a safe space for women and men interested in discussing and acting upon issues of gender inequality.

Our mission statement is to actively campaign on issues of gender inequality (such as the pay gap, domestic violence, no means no and positive body image) and to organise successful and well publicised events such as International Women's Day and reclaim the night.

Our structure will consist of fortnightly debates on relevant issues, specific campaign meetings and regular guest speakers. We will also exist as an e-group for people who can't regularly attend meetings but would like to stay socially or politically involved.

It is central to our belief that gender equality will make the world a better place for all to live in.

We have meetings on alternative Wednesdays at 8.00 at Shot in The Dark on city road.

Don't be shy. We are looking forwards to hearing what you have to say!"
