When it comes to conferences, college, conventions and festivals, there are often a number of activities. In some cases, this includes feminist workshops. For example, there are a number of colleges and universities which host Feminist Theory Workshops on an annual basis.
In some cases, these events host opening plenaries, discussion forums and panels. For the most part, all workshops deal with issues important to women. Whereas, there can also be others directed at teaching all genders and orientations with regards to equality. Whether that equality be in relation to civil rights, equal pay for equal work, sexual harassment, gender reassignment or sexual orientation often depends on what company or organization is organizing and presenting the event.
Companies and individuals whom provide workshops in this area are often doing so for a profit. While this is the case, there are two which are owned and operated by women. These are Soapbox and Ambivalently Yours. As with others, these companies often make a profit, though in these particular cases, the workshops often take on a feminist tone.
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.
It should be noted that camps are very different from other events. For, individuals can often converse about a number of different ideologies and interests. As this is the case, there are women of all backgrounds, lifestyles, political persuasions and sexual orientations. As such, it is important that those attending these events maintain an open mind.
Most all of these events teach about the history of the feminist and women's liberation movement of the 1960s. As such, those in attendance often get a great deal of insight as to how far women have come in the last century. While this is the case, the world is at a point where women and others are once again fighting for civil and equal rights.
At most camps, popular feminists offer keynote speeches which can often inspire and motivate women to become involved in the movement. Whether creating art, working for a non-profit or volunteering time, all are important areas in which women can become involved. In addition, for those whom have the ability to do so, working on a rape crisis hotline, or at a shelter are areas in which there is often a high demand for paid staff and volunteers.
Women sharing the same type of interests often make fast friends at these events. In many cases, these individuals will at some point work together to overcome challenges and obstacles important to women. When this is the case, there is a very good chance the friendships made at these events might very well last a lifetime.
