From street protests to humanitarian aid: do grassroots activists get enough visibility during the full-scale invasion? How did lectures at the universities, zines, and feminist camps give way to helping internally displaced persons? Is the conservative turn to be expected and how do we prevent it?

Let's discuss in the fourth episode of the podcast 'Feminists about the war'. Our guests:

🔸Nata — activist, author of the zine '(Un)employed'; https://www.facebook.com/precariouswomenzine
🔸Zhenya Dzekun — activist, feminist (grassroots, horizontal, feminist group 'Bilkis');

🔸Brie — activist of the feminist initiative 'FemSolution' and the NGO 'Social movement'.

🔥'Feminists about the war' is a series of informal feminist talks. First-hand testimonies and thoughts of women active in civic activism before and during the full-scale Russia's invasion are equally important as reports about political decisions. 

⚙️'Feminist workshop' is a non-governmental organization. Since 2014 we create a space for strengthening the feminist community in Lviv and Ukraine. After the beginning of the full-scale invasion we also focus on providing humanitarian aid and work at the creation of the shelter for women that lost their homes.
