Education for Women's Liberation, Closing Plenary: Julie Bindel UCL

Julie Bindel is a leading voice in the global campaign to end male violence towards women and children. She co-founded Justice for Women and the Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize.
Her books include Straight Expectations, The Pimping of Prostitution and Feminism for Women.

She spoke at Education for Women's Liberation, a day of feminist thought and women’s activism, organised by UCL Women’s Liberation SIG and WPUK. Building on the highly successful Women’s Liberation 2020 conference, the conference brought together feminist activists, students, academics, writers, politicians and women’s organisations.

Focusing on education in feminism and women’s lives, the conference addressed interconnected themes including: women’s voices in education; sexual harassment in schools and universities; the history of women’s access to education in local and global contexts; the ways in which women’s entrance into education and research has changed workplaces and academic disciplines; the impact of gendered stereotypes in educational spaces, and sex and relationship education in schools.
