WOMEN AND THE STATE

A CONFERENCE FOR FEMINIST ACTIVISTS

A conference on Women and the state which will bring together women activists from many organizations to reflect collectively on our experience and to develop strategies for the future. In our struggles for women, we confront, challenge and depend on the state. But we cannot count on its being on our side. We have seen our demands shaped and often distorted by state policy, legislation and funding programs. This conference will provide a place for women activists to share such experiences and to build a picture of how the state functions in relation to women's organizations and demands. Through collective reflection, we will work towards assessing and advancing feminist strategies for change. Daycare will be provided/subsidized. Contact: Women and the State, Department of Sociology, OISE, 252 Bloor Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1V6.
