MMeets—Creating Space for Women: Designing for Safety and Power

What role does public space play in the everyday experience of women and gnc people? In the wake of ongoing deaths and violence, how are we responding and galvanising in public spaces and online? This event was a facilitated discussion and workshop around the ideas of activating spaces, community actions and ensuring the conversation around the right to safety in public continues collectively. To begin, a discussion of complex issues were discussed by a panel providing a range of perspectives: academics, writers, activists and lawyers. The panel were invited to share their reflections on using and owning public space with particular regard to violence, feminism, memory and resistance, as well as thoughts on the online vs public sites for feminist activism.
