Oxford Feminist Union - Amplifying Women: DEEDS WITH WORDS 4/4 - Julie Bindel

Julie Bindel is a feminist campaigner, journalist and author. Julie travels extensively to countries such as Cambodia, India, Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe to investigate male violence towards women and girls. Her latest book is 'Feminism for Women: the real route to liberation'. 'Deeds with Words is the first event of Oxford Feminist Union's 'Amplifying Women' series: a platform for women's voices to be heard on today's most important issues. It was named to reference the Women’s Social and Political Union motto from 1903: Deeds Not Words, which was a call to radical action, a call to civil disobedience. Deeds with Words acknowledges the immense power that language has, and the courage that many of us need these days in order to speak up publicly on women’s issues - something that some would class as disobedience in itself.
