When it comes to feminism, some consider it a theory, others a practice. When it comes feminist workshops, it is often feminist practitioners whom lead and attend these events. Whether held at a conference, convention, festival or rally, there are often a number of different topics covered in multiple workshops over the course of a day, a weekend, or a week. In other cases, there can be annual events, such as those related to feminist theory which are held at a number of different colleges and universities.
In some cases, conferences, conventions, festivals and rallies also highlight issues related to women. One of the most common those doing so are LGBTQ+ pride parade rallies. Whereas, recent marches and rallies for equal rights always host a number of feminist speakers and workshops.
There are also companies and individuals which provide workshops in this area. Two of these companies are often much better known than others. These include, Ambivalently Yours and Soapbox. For, these companies can provide workshops on-site, or will travel to other locations. Most often, workshops in this area focus on a number of different issues related to women and civil rights, women and equal rights, sexual harassment, equal pay for equal work and working with women whom have experienced rape or domestic violence.
Beyond workshops, there are also other events such as weekend camps which allow women an opportunity learn about feminist issues. In addition, as these events are often more relaxed, women also tend to learn more about oneself and other women while in attendance. As with most events of this nature, there are often a number of different learning opportunities.
Women should note that these camping events are nothing like conferences, conventions, festivals or retreats. For, unlike others, these events often offer an overview of history and past work of a number of feminists. As this is the case, many whom attend these events often discover talents and interests in working on feminist agendas. In fact, when these events are held on an annual basis, there are many women whom will create and join a number of different affinity camps and groups.
In addition to learning about the history and work of others, the camp also provides the opportunity for all in attendance to examine and get to know oneself better. In the process, many have not only gained insight into the personal and political view one holds but have also discovered new talents and interests. As these events are open to all women, regardless of lifestyle, political party, race, religion, sexual orientation or political persuasion, it is important those planning to attend have an open mind, for while political discussions often become heated, emotional abuse and violence are never appropriate, and will not be tolerated, regardless of differences in these areas.
In most cases, those attending camps will hear talks by a popular, well known and respected woman offering a keynote address. While this is also the case at a number of conferences, conventions, festivals and rallies, those at camps are often more laid back. As such, individuals often share stories with one another afterward over a campfire or take walks and talk about issues under a starry sky.
Whether attending a local one day workshop, a weekend conference, a convention or rally, connections made at these events can often last a lifetime. While this is the case, it is also important to share information learned in the process with others whom might never be able to attend such an event. In the process, a woman may very well help inspire and motivate others to work towards life that is equal and free of discrimination, harassment or abuse.
