Reclaim Our Bodies: Stop exploiting women for profit!

From fast cars to holidays, fashion to junk food, the market turns women into
sexualised objects to lure consumers. Explore how advertising and the media
use sexism, racism and homophobia to sell products and shape how we see
ourselves and others.

Come hear:
• Angeline Ferdinand, queer woman of colour with a special interest in the
health of marginalised people and reproductive justice activism

• Ashley Ihasz, a student, musician, trans woman and committee member of
the youth queer support group, YGender

• Jackie Wykes, full fat, high-femme writer and performer working on a PhD
thesis on fat embodiment and sexual subjectivity

• Debbie Brennan, Melbourne Organiser for Radical Women and Campaign
for Women’s Reproductive Rights activist

• Rebecca Wickham, Fed Up? activist and therapist in body image and eating
issues

Join in discussion about how we will liberate ourselves!

Everyone is welcome, kids too! Delicious food provided (including
vegan & gluten-free). Suggested donation $5.00. Pay at door or online:
