Feminist Question Time with speakers from Brazil, UK, Germany and USA

Women's Declaration International (WDI) Feminist Question Time is our weekly online webinars. It is attended by a global feminist and activist audience of between 200-300. The main focus is how gender ideology is harming the rights of women and girls. You can see recordings of previous panels on our YouTube Channel. WDI is the leading  global organisation defending women’s sex-based rights against the threats posed by gender identity ideology. There is more information on the website womensdeclaration.com where you will find our Declaration on Women’s Sex-based rights, which has been signed by more 30,000 people from 157 countries and is supported by 418 organisations.

This week’s speakers:

Freda Davis - UK - A Womans Centre in every local authority - The holistic purpose of womens centres and why they are the best place to refer women for community sentences instead of prison.

Bio: I have been a teacher, advice and information worker and advocate for mental health, a volunteer in several organisations, and a founder member, trainer and Chair at WomenCentre Calderdale and Kirklees, from the late 90s to 2013. I retired from work in 2002. I am also an artist printmaker.

Ana - Germany - International Feminist Resistance by Radfem Berlin - I will make a brief presentation of the group RFB (Radfem Berlin), I will talk about the translation and publication of Sheila's work into German and at the end I will invite women to come to the "International feminist Resistance" happening in Berlin next September where Sheila will speak.

Bio: Researcher and writer, feminist activist for women's sex-based rights & against lesbian erasure. Founder of Radfem Berlin, an activist group in Germany and founder of the small publisher house "RFB / Books" focused only on publishing feminist theory in German.

Ute Heggen, author of In the Curated Woods, True Tales from a Grass Widow - USA - My journey from narcissistic and financial abuse, influenced by the captured mental health practitioners of gender ideology, refuse to recognize the emotional damage their menu for "transition" causes to the families of men who ideate to be women. There is no data collected on us; no peer reviewed studies exist on trans widows. When we do not "affirm" and stay in the marriage, we are vilified and disrespected, our children traumatized.

Bio: I write of the trauma and recovery process of women, mothers, whose husbands have claimed a female identity and erase our roles through identifying themselves as the mothers of our children. My memoir, In the Curated Woods, published at iuniverse.com/bookstore and available through Amazon, is reviewed at womenarehuman.com. My journey as a trans widow started in 1992, when I discovered my then-husband's diaries of his cross-dressing. I have a blog, uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com, where I write in support of women like myself and families affected by gender ideology. My book is listed as a resource at transwidowsvoices.org and advocatesprotectingchildren.org.

Veronica Moraes - Brazil - An attack on Brazilian women's freedom of expression - In Brazil, women who are critical of gender ideology are being silenced in many ways. The more alarming one, in my view, is the judiciary's understanding that transphobia is to be judged under the racism laws, effectively silencing women and disrespecting our freedom of expression. I'm currently on a mission to encourage women to surpass their fears and understand that conflict will be part of this fight and can't be avoided at all cost. We must not give ground and always keep saying men can't be women.

Bio: Feminist activist, former candidate for local elections in Rio de Janeiro.
