FEM SOC
On 10 March 2007 over 400 women and men travelled across the country to attend the third FEM Conference - FEM 07. The conference revealed a huge wealth of fantastic feminist activism across the UK - and a real hunger for more opportunities to close the inequality gaps between women and men.
