Welcome to Young Feminist Europe!

Webinar Launch!!!

For the #MyClitCounts campaign, join us and Lucía Berro Pizzarossa for an exciting webinar about the evolution of SRHR on Monday 14 October at 7PM.

Young Feminist Europe launches its first webinar series where young feminist researchers and experts will present and host discussions on women*s sexual pleasure, gynecological health and reproductive rights. For the first episode, Lucía Berro Pizzarossa (PhD) will give an overview of the evolution of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in the international arena by looking at the scope definitions, how ‘unholy alliances’ shaped the agenda, and how we went from a paradigm of population control to a human-rights one. Register here!

The clitoris – the unknown organ – has come to symbolise this inequality. Through a series of campaign actions, young feminists from across Europe will have the opportunity to engage in the broad and interlinked topics surrounding women’s bodies.
