Young
Feminist Weekend 2019 brings together young feminists in the Netherlands for a
3day participatory process to explore how young feminists can create positive
change in the Netherlands. To address the challenges we see in our country and
the world today we need a strong and intersectional feminist movement where
young women in all their diversity are recognised and their experiences and
aspirations are valued. The NVR wants to support young feminist leadership and
engagement in its work and the Young Feminist Weekend 2019 aims to facilitate a
platform for convening young feminist voices and building relationships and
solidarity amongst each other. We invite applications from young selfidentified
women aged between 18 and 31 who strongly believe in coming together and
building connections with other young feminists, in order to create change
together. If this sounds like you, we invite you to apply!

Feminist Weekend 2019 for you? 

• Are you interested in sharing your feminist work and activism with others and learning from each other? 
• Are you keen to find out what young feminists are doing against inequality, and how you can work together to create positive change in society?

• Do you want to be part of shaping future feminist strategies and campaigns in the Netherlands?  

The criteria
