What we need

• Provide Cantonese-to-English / English-to-Cantonese interpretation for the audiences off-stage. The sessions that require interpretation assistance are as follows:
• Aug 14 (Sun), 1:30p - 2:45pm -- "Do we matter? : Radical re-evaluation of marginalized labor"
• Aug 21 (Sun), 5pm - 6:30pm -- Different Kinds of Mothers: Expanding the notion of "Mothering"
• Each volunteer will be assigned to help with one session (1.5 hours)
• Volunteers may attend a session of their choice in this year's Festival for free (to be discussed).

Background

Women’s Festival is the first and only annual celebration of femininity since its creation by Eaton HK, Sally Coco and Reel Women HK in 2018. The festival offers workshops and talks that promote gender awareness, equality and social change, striving to include those marginalized by class, gender, sexuality and more. As a registered charity, we donate our net proceeds each year to local women’s NGOs in need. http://womensfestival.hk/

What we have

Session materials will be shared when possible.

Why this is important

The oppression of women on all aspects of life has worsened under the COVID-19 pandemic. The perseverance of Women's Festival act as a beacon of hope and enlightenment for those who seek gender equality and inclusivity. As an interpreter, your work helps to equip the audience with knowledge to fight against inequality.
