Understanding Feminist Workshops, Camps And Related Events

By Donna Kennedy


When it comes to conferences, college, conventions and festivals, there are often a number of activities. In some cases, this includes feminist workshops. For example, there are a number of colleges and universities which host Feminist Theory Workshops on an annual basis.

In many cases, these workshops focus on equal work for equal pay, anti-discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual orientation and civil rights. Whereas, there are also feminist speakers which enlighten others by speaking at a number of LGBTQ+ parades and rallies around the world. Most often, those speaking at these events have a more receptive audience than other locations, such as in the workplace.

There are also companies and individuals which provide workshops in this area. Two of these companies are often much better known than others. These include, Ambivalently Yours and Soapbox. For, these companies can provide workshops on-site, or will travel to other locations. Most often, workshops in this area focus on a number of different issues related to women and civil rights, women and equal rights, sexual harassment, equal pay for equal work and working with women whom have experienced rape or domestic violence.

Beyond workshops, camps focusing on these issues have also become popular over the last several years. For, women often enjoy being able to relax and enjoy the company of others of like-mind and talents. As such, these camps are now being offered in different areas throughout the year.

It should be noted that camps are very different from other events. For, individuals can often converse about a number of different ideologies and interests. As this is the case, there are women of all backgrounds, lifestyles, political persuasions and sexual orientations. As such, it is important that those attending these events maintain an open mind.

Most all of these events teach about the history of the feminist and women's liberation movement of the 1960s. As such, those in attendance often get a great deal of insight as to how far women have come in the last century. While this is the case, the world is at a point where women and others are once again fighting for civil and equal rights.

Whether at a camp, conference, convention, festival or rally, well known female activists and writers are often invited to provide a keynote address. In many cases, these speeches work to inspire and motivate others to take on some aspect of a feminist agenda. Whether that be through creating politically inspired artwork, volunteering for a non-profit or volunteering time at a food bank, rape crisis center or shelter, these are all worthwhile endeavors which are often associated with feminism.

Whether attending a local one day workshop, a weekend conference, a convention or rally, connections made at these events can often last a lifetime. While this is the case, it is also important to share information learned in the process with others whom might never be able to attend such an event. In the process, a woman may very well help inspire and motivate others to work towards life that is equal and free of discrimination, harassment or abuse.
