Two incredible women discuss every-day sexism in an ever-increasing world of gender inequality and a justice system that often fails women. Harriet Wistrich and
Laura Bates are brilliant, inspirational thinkers and campaigners, this crucial event will promote an important debate and discussion that every woman should be a part of.

Harriet Wistrich has had a remarkable career at the forefront of some historic and ground breakding victories. Her work has led her to challenge the police, CPS, government departments and the prison and immigration system. Sister in Law tells the shocking stories of some of those who have come to her for assistance and shines a feminist light on the landscape of arcane laws and byzantine systems, skewed towards male behavour and responses.

Laura Bates is a feminist activist, New York Times and Sunday Times best-selling author, and founder of the Everyday Sexism Project.

In The New Age of Sexism, Laura explores the metaverse, confronts deepfake pornography, travels to cyber brothels, tests chatbots, and hears from schools in the grip of online sexual abuse, showing how our lives – from education to work, sex to entertainment – are being infiltrated by easily accessible AI technologies that are changing the way we live and love.

Every feminist should know Harriet Wistrich’s name. There is no one better to learn from if you want to Get Shit Done.
