Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy have a women* focused event?You might not have realized it at the time, but the last conference you attended (unless women focused) probability had an under representation of women speakers, facilitators and organizers. Despite being 50% of the population, women, our voices and experiences continue to be marginalized and discriminated against in the workplace, the education system, the healthcare system, the legal system and the media (to name a few). This gathering seeks to explore the systematic barriers women face- told by women themselves. We believe that women are the experts of their own unique experience, and it is through women-focused learning spaces like this one that we as a community can be better informed of the inequalities of our community, and the actions necessary to correct them.
