Fancy getting more involved in feminist events happening in Dublin?

Fem Fest 2017 is the perfect place to start. 

Organised by the National Women's Council of Ireland, the event, kicking off on Saturday November 25, is designed for young woman to come together and discuss dismantling the patriarchy.

We joke, the event is actually about female leadership and engaging women in a discussion about feminine authority. 

According to the NWCI: 'The day-long conference will specifically engage young women from the ages of 16-25 to recognise their existing and potential leadership capacity and challenge the barriers they face to grow as leaders.'

'The conference provides a space for young women to discuss the issues that affect them and is attended by young women from a range of backgrounds in urban and rural communities.'

So far, the stellar line up of speakers includes Anna Cosgrave, founder of the Repeal Project, Sinead McSweeney, MD of Twitter in Ireland, Dil Wickremasinghe, Social Justice and Mental Health Podcaster and Louise McSharry, presenter at RTÉ 2fm.

Also speaking will be Sinead Aherne, Captain of the Dublin Ladies Football Team, Demilade Adeniran, a No Hate Speech Campaigner, Síona Cahill, from the Union of Students in Ireland, and Vanessa Lacey, from the Transgender Equality Network Ireland. 

The event is completely free, but registration is essential. 

Registration for the event is open right this minute, so if you want to get involved, sign up here.
