Conference
Sex Talks: What My Body Means To Me
Organised by Sex Talks
💌 The event 💌
In light of the overturning of Roe Vs Wade in America, the next Sex Talks event will explore the subject of bodily autonomy, while raising money for a UK-based abortion-care provider, @abortionsupportnetwork.
PART ONE: LETTERS LIVE
In a 'Letters Live' style evening, we will first be joined by a range of brilliant speakers (writers, campaigners, actors, activists, artists and more) who will read aloud a letter they've penned to their body.
Each letter will reflect on the writer's personal relationship with their body (on its shape, sexuality, gender, health...) and what bodily autonomy means to them. Never has it felt more important to consider what having control over your body means and why it is so goddam important. It is worth remembering that while abortion is legal here in the U.K., it wasn't decriminalized in Northern Ireland until 2019. It goes without saying, that everything happening in America bears testimony to how precious are our hard-won rights (to abortion access, same-sex marriage, contraception and more) and how easily they could one day be taken away.
PART TWO: TURNING ANGER TO ACTION
In the latter half of the evening, we'll learn how to turn our anger to action. For this panel discussion, I'll be joined by campaigners working across a range of issues, who will shed light on what they've found to be the most effective way(s) of engendering change, and what true allyship really entails.
All money from the ticket sales for this event will go to an abortion-care provider based in the UK (I am in the process of researching what the best organisation will be to donate to, so please get in touch if you have expertise in this area).
