Understanding Feminist Workshops, Camps And Related Events

By Donna Kennedy


When it comes to feminism, some consider it a theory, others a practice. When it comes feminist workshops, it is often feminist practitioners whom lead and attend these events. Whether held at a conference, convention, festival or rally, there are often a number of different topics covered in multiple workshops over the course of a day, a weekend, or a week. In other cases, there can be annual events, such as those related to feminist theory which are held at a number of different colleges and universities.

In some cases, these events host opening plenaries, discussion forums and panels. For the most part, all workshops deal with issues important to women. Whereas, there can also be others directed at teaching all genders and orientations with regards to equality. Whether that equality be in relation to civil rights, equal pay for equal work, sexual harassment, gender reassignment or sexual orientation often depends on what company or organization is organizing and presenting the event.

There are also companies and individuals which provide workshops in this area. Two of these companies are often much better known than others. These include, Ambivalently Yours and Soapbox. For, these companies can provide workshops on-site, or will travel to other locations. Most often, workshops in this area focus on a number of different issues related to women and civil rights, women and equal rights, sexual harassment, equal pay for equal work and working with women whom have experienced rape or domestic violence.

Beyond workshops, there are also other events such as weekend camps which allow women an opportunity learn about feminist issues. In addition, as these events are often more relaxed, women also tend to learn more about oneself and other women while in attendance. As with most events of this nature, there are often a number of different learning opportunities.

It should be noted that camps are very different from other events. For, individuals can often converse about a number of different ideologies and interests. As this is the case, there are women of all backgrounds, lifestyles, political persuasions and sexual orientations. As such, it is important that those attending these events maintain an open mind.

Most all of these events teach about the history of the feminist and women's liberation movement of the 1960s. As such, those in attendance often get a great deal of insight as to how far women have come in the last century. While this is the case, the world is at a point where women and others are once again fighting for civil and equal rights.

In most cases, those attending camps will hear talks by a popular, well known and respected woman offering a keynote address. While this is also the case at a number of conferences, conventions, festivals and rallies, those at camps are often more laid back. As such, individuals often share stories with one another afterward over a campfire or take walks and talk about issues under a starry sky.

Women sharing the same type of interests often make fast friends at these events. In many cases, these individuals will at some point work together to overcome challenges and obstacles important to women. When this is the case, there is a very good chance the friendships made at these events might very well last a lifetime.
