Ethics

“as individual feminists, we are committed to and believe in gender equality based on feminist principles…”. The personal is political, and the political is personal. As we dissect and reflect on our roles in the movement, we should reflect on the concept of feminism, our organising and networks, feminist solidarity, self-care and well being.
