Women at the Cutting Edge

11am – 5pm
Saturday 30 October
The Arbour, 100 Shandy Street, E1 4ST
(Nearest tubes: Stepney Green, Mile End)

On 20 October the ConDem government’s “Spending Review” will detail
enormous cuts in public services. We are already feeling the impact of
earlier
cuts many affected by Labour; nurseries and libraries are closing, jobs are
being lost. As the government “austerity drive” steps up, the reality is
that cuts will hit the lives of all but the wealthiest. In many cases women
will be hit the hardest with recent reports estimating that women will suffer
72% of the tax and benefit cuts.

Whether you’re a feminist, an activist, a trade unionist, someone affected by
the cuts, or involved in fighting the cuts in your college, community or
workplace, or just interested in how the landscape of the welfare state is
changing, Feminist Figtback invites you to join a day of discussions and
networking. We want to put these cuts in a political context, link up, and
share ideas and skills as we plan to fight them together.

- WHAT'S GOING ON? MAPPING CUTS AND CAMPIAGNS
