BFN does not prescribe to one particular strand of feminist thought but does believe in the importance of reclaiming the word feminism from the common misrepresentations it has been subjected to within our culture. However, anyone who is interested in what we do, or who would like to learn more about feminism, but do not define themselves as feminist are still more than welcome to take part. BFN holds informal meetings with the aim of providing a supportive, friendly and inspiring environment to share ideas, learn from each other and get active on what we think matters. We also aim to hold relevant workshops and seminars in order to educate ourselves on feminist issues and/or ideas. Furthermore, BFN strongly believes in activism. We want to raise awareness of feminism and gender issues within the community and act on the matters that we feel must change. We want to raise awareness of feminism and gender issues within our community and act on the matters that we feel must change. We believe that challenging gender stereotypes, resisting sexist oppression and fighting for the rights of women can positively change the world for ALL who inhabit it. How do I get involved? BFN meets at Cafe Kino, Nine Tree Hill, Stokes Croft, Bristol. Meetings are informal and open to all, please feel welcome to drop in and meet the group. If you cannot travel to meetings, you might want to participate in our online communities. We have a Facebook group, Yahoo group, book club and an online discussion forum. Anyone can get involved and participate as much or as little as they would like. We are not a membership organisation and you do not have to subscribe. If you would like to lead or suggest a topic for a discussion meeting or organise an event, please bring your ideas to the next meeting or start a discussion online. We are always keen to hear new ideas for action in Bristol.
