Stop Porn Culture Training Sat June 13th London, book now!
OBJECT – in conjunction with London Feminist Network, Anti-Porn London and Scary Little Girls – is delighted to offer a fantastic Stop Porn Culture training session led by US Feminist researcher and activist Rebecca Whisnant. Rebecca was one of the founder members of the U.S. National Feminist Anti-Pornography Movement and has co-edited Global Feminist Ethics, 2007 and Not for Sale: Feminists Resisting Prostitution and Pornography, 2004.
This is a brand new and updated training focusing on young people and pornified culture – which gives a grounding in feminist theory and pornography as a form of violence against women. It also gives participants the experience, knowledge, and confidence to talk publicly against porn culture in a variety of situations.
