Description
A free picnic for women, trans women and non-binary students, with Sister Courage, who facilitates supportive self defence classes.
We're a supportive group offering some solidarity. We will talk together - women supporting women. Sister Courage offers a toolbox of verbal and physical options for dealing with sexism, misogyny and entitlement.
We'll start with a picnic (supplied) at Ashton Court or inside if the weather isn’t suitable.
Following the picnic, you'll have the option to practice some practical self defence skills. Please wear comfortable clothing for this.
