HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR OUR GROUNDBREAKING FEMINISM FOR CHANGE COURSE

Women with histories of addiction and substance misuse often face multiple disadvantage; from mental health challenges to homelessness, family breakdown, involvement with the criminal justice system and long-term unemployment. In addition, they face structural problems such as gendered violence, social and economic inequality and a decline in women-centred, specialist services.

Our response to this is Feminism for Change.

Feminism for Change is a free 6-week Course for women in recovery from drug and alcohol use to explore the ways in which gender stereotypes, roles and expectations and sex-based inequality have shaped their lives, relationships, and use of substances.

“I’m learning to speak up for myself now, seeing other women do it.” - Nina
