This is the final episode in this current series, and we’re trying something a little different.

You may have heard some of your favourite podcasts doing live shows. This episode is our attempt at that although we did it a bit back to front. We ran the event – Where next for the women’s movement? - then decided to turn it into a podcast, so more people can hear it.

We invited along two speakers – Julie Begum from Women Unite Against Racism; and Jane Conor from Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners.

You can hear Jane’s story in episode 3 of this series: https://eastlondonwomen.org.uk/podcast/

You can discover Julie’s story on our website: https://eastlondonwomen.org.uk/

This episode features the full debate from the event, including discussions on challenging male dominated platforms, building confidence in women, burn out, ally-ship and much more. You can also hear from Period Power activists and the Women’s Chainmakers Festival organisers, amongst others.
