<p>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 effected 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. </p></div>
<div>
<div class="im">
<p>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. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Participatory workshops on:</strong></p>
<p>What’s going on?
Mapping cuts and campaigns
<br>Who do the cuts affect?
Why are cuts a feminist issue?
<br>What does it mean?
