The Fighting for Space, Love and Loss Zine
Feb 28, 2019
Historically LGBTIQ people have fought for space because we had to, bringing the rights and places we needed into existence. How have we created, fought for and made space for our communities? What have we lost? As we often come to big cities as a place of safety, to find community, how are LGBTIQ people affected by or part of gentrification?
Download the Zine which holds the answers to these questions, and was featured at the Fighting for Space, Love and Loss event on the 28th of Feb 2019.

16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence

This Zine is a collection of stories of survival and agency, focusing on the theme of violence against women and girls. The stories presented are from longer pieces collected as part of Resilient and Resisting, an oral history and collaborative storytelling project. The event is supported by Hackney Council’s 16 days of action against gender based violence, part of the UN’s campaign to help eliminate violence against women and girls. 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is an international campaign which runs every year from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day.
