Still think feminism is finished? Think again.
Leeds University Union’s Feminist Society followed Oxford’s OUSU Women’s Campaign by hitting back against the patriarchy with their own pro-feminist slogans.
Members of the public were photographed inside the Union and in other locations on campus holding whiteboards which read ‘I need feminism because…’, in an attempt to raise awareness of issues facing women and society in today’s world.
Feminist Society’s next meeting is at 5 on Monday in the Union common room.
Freya Potter, one of the event’s organisers told The Tab:
‘Hopefully our campaign will mean that people who don’t identify with feminism can read our boards and realise that in so many ways, inequality and sexism affects us all.’
Have you been convinced of the relevance of feminism today? Let us know in the comments!
