Conference 'Feminist socialisation. Bring on the whole life!

From the announcement:

Whether we are single parents juggling everyday life or caring for relatives on a basic income, whether we are working beyond our limits in hospitals or healing the wounds in our communities caused by everyday racism as much as by the violence inflicted on our bodies and relationships – we all know this: life does not sustain itself. We sustain it. And it is precisely for this that we are devalued. We are isolated and often pitted against one another.

However different our struggles may be, common questions arise: Who keeps life going – and under what conditions? Who receives support, and who does not? Who has control over whose labour, bodies and time? ...

We know that liberation for all is only possible if we tackle the ‘knots of domination’ of various oppressive relationships together.

Feminist socialisation therefore means challenging this gendered, racist and global division of labour – and with it the devaluation and oppression of those whose labour makes life possible in the first place. We want collective care instead of family coercion, public infrastructure instead of neoliberal austerity, solidarity instead of right-wing division.

We want to discuss how this can be achieved together at the second feminist futures conference:

We invite initiatives working on care politics, anyone fighting against patriarchal and sexualised violence and femicide, or for queer and trans* liberation, reproductive justice and diverse ways of life. Join us in discussing anti-racist and internationalist perspectives in the struggles for freedom of movement and abolitionism, against war and militarisation, as well as for climate justice.

How can we better connect our struggles? And what strategies does a queer-feminist and anti-racist movement need in times of authoritarian shifts? Let’s share experiences, forge alliances and develop concrete steps towards a caring, solidarity-based society.
