A Woman's Place is in the Press: Julie Bindel #WPUKPress (London, 9 November 2023)

A Woman’s Place UK (WPUK) was pleased to host A Woman's Place is in the Press, where we were joined by a panel of expert journalists who clearly advocate for the sex-based rights of women. Each embody the spirit of resistance, representing the interests of women at a time when many seek to silence feminist voices. Hear about the obstacles they have overcome, the obstacles still in our path and how can we make sure women's interests are represented in the press. Their accounts of standing firm and making women’s concerns heard had particular resonance as we enter a general election year. WPUK has been hosting sold-out public meetings at venues around the country since 2017. In that time, we have seen policymakers begin to realise the importance of preserving sex-based rights. This evening will be an occasion for reflecting on, and celebrating, the role that female journalists have played in leading the fightback against a sustained attack on women’s rights.
