Past events
Women Resisting Violence short film screening (Brixton House, London, 16 June 2024)
It’s amazing how these films weren’t made together, but that the same themes came up across countries and communities – one being women’s bodies as resistance.
I really felt it. The love and the care in each film.

Listening to Women Resisting Violence (webinar, online, February 2022)
This webinar focused on podcasting as a medium to positively influence broader policies around violence against women. We spoke with the activists who participated in the podcast and with leading international podcast producers about the power of podcasting for social change.
I thought the event was incredible! I was delighted to hear so much great stuff being said about podcasting as a tool for not just communication but activism – it’s exactly the sort of thread I want to pull at, so I couldn’t be happier to be involved.
Whilst Brazil is deemed one of the most violent and dangerous countries in the world, the rate of violent deaths in the country has decreased over recent years. Despite this, women and other gender and sexual minorities remain at greater risk of experiencing violence.
By comparing the discourse of a Colombian broadsheet and a pacifist feminist organisation, Isabelle Gribomont demonstrates how language can impact the ways victims are understood and treated in a (post-)conflict society.
