Feminist talk
Feminist talk is meant to be a hub for conversations between our readers and writers on topics that are related to the sometimes dry world of internet policy. It is a space for storytelling, personal essays, opinions – to challenge and inspire readers on issues and topics that are close to them. Here are the opinions, experiences and thoughts of writers from the diverse community in which we live.

But Tracey Naughton (MISA - Media Institute of Southern Africa) who chaired the meeting was amazingly efficient, and despite it starting almost 20 minutes late, she managed to outline the new method and structure of working, faciliate a discussion on its finer...

19 Sept 2005 – Opening Plenary (10:00am – 12:00pm)
By Jac sm Kee
So, all in all, a much more politically charged day than I thought
it would be. For the first time possibly ever, I was actually impatient
to be on time for the Opening Plenary of an event...
