Do we need women-only spaces?

Brighton Dome, Brighton Women’s Centre and Brighton Museum have joined forces to present a programme of speakers, workshops, and arts and crafts on Saturday, March 4.

It will include the talk on women-only spaces in the Brighton Dome Concert Hall between 2pm and 3.30pm.

The panel will consist of: Caroline Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion; Lisa Dando of Brighton Women’s Centre; Larissa Kennedy, an activist and member of Girlguiding’s national advocate panel; Katharine Sacks-Jones, director of Agenda, the alliance for women and girls at risk; and Natasha Scott, a University of Brighton student and ‘Miss Transgender Brighton’ in 2015.

At the International Women’s Day event there will also be live performances and discussion groups, as well as complementary therapies, stalls and information.

Workshops include folk singing, poetry, dance, self-defence, and zine making, plus craft workshops for adults and children, including the making of an unconventional patchwork quilt using the slogan ‘Be Bold For Change’ as the centrepiece.
