What We Offer
Our 2-hour workshop is designed to create sense-making spaces for young women, girls, and gender-diverse young people.
These spaces support participants in understanding and communicating their experiences of misogyny, sexism, and sexual harassment.
They provide a collective environment of sharing and support, alongside opportunities to engage with feminist activism. Together, we explore what it might look like to reclaim joy in girlhood and how we can take action to make that a reality. This approach helps to undo the harm caused by sexist and misogynistic narratives, present in everyday life.
-
We introduce key concepts such as safety, freedom, misogyny, sexism, patriarchy, and internalised misogyny to support the group in exploring their own experiences and understanding the harm these systems create.
Together, we examine how these forces shape our sense of safety and freedom, before moving into a collective and positive exploration of girlhood and gender that celebrates our identities and helps us reclaim joy in who we are.
-
Youth and community groups across Bristol and South Gloucestershire that support young women, girls, or gender-diverse young people. We prioritise delivering these sessions in areas of high deprivation.
These workshops are designed for those aged 11 and above. Because of the content, participants should be grouped with others of a similar age (for example, KS3, KS4, Post‑16, or Post‑18).
-
Our workshops are delivered by professionals who collectively bring decades of experience in youth work and the movement to end male violence against women and girls.
They are skilled at meeting young people where they are and creating a safe and trauma-informed environment where young people have space to explore the harm caused by misogyny and the systems of oppression that sustain it.
-
Develop a deeper understanding of misogyny and its harm, shifting the focus away from individual behaviours and toward broader systems of oppression.
Foster meaningful connection and community, encouraging empathy, shared understanding, and stronger relationships.
Promote advocacy by centring young people’s voices and experiences, enabling you as workers to gain richer insight into the young people's lived realities.
Explore the power of community activism, supporting young people in recognising and engaging with collective action.
Create a tangible takeaway, produced collaboratively with the young people, that captures their voices and experiences and can be shared with peers, youth leaders, workers, and on social media.
