The panel features Natasha Walter, author of 'Living Dolls: the Return of Sexism' and 'Feminism for a World on Fire'; Shahed Ezaydi, who wrote 'The Othered Woman: How White Feminism Harms Muslim Women'; and N.S. Nuseibeh, author of 'Namesake: Reflections on a Warrior Woman'. It is worth noting that N.S. Nuseibeh will be participating in the discussion via video link. Together, they will address specific issues such as the rise of authoritarian states, the prevalence of online misogyny, and the impact of the climate crisis. The discussion aims to explore how these factors influence the safety and freedoms of women today, providing a space to consider how feminism might respond to these multifaceted threats.
