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.
