Feminist Question Time with speakers from USA and Ireland
Women's Human Rights Campaign (WHRC) Feminist Question Time is our weekly online webinars. It is attended by a global feminist and activist audience of between 200-300. The main focus is how gender ideology is harming the rights of women and girls. You can see recordings of previous panels on our YouTube Channel.
This week’s speakers:
