Acknowledging the cause’s need for intersectionality, the camps are designed for all ages, ethnicities, backgrounds and experience.

“Our Feminism 5.0 camps will allow activists of all ages and from all backgrounds to learn from each other how to make political change,” said Sophie Walker, leader of the WEP, in a statement.

“Feminism is moving into a new, fifth wave, as hard-won freedoms are under attack across the globe, and the prospect of a gender-equal future looks more fragile than ever before. Women are beginning to organise and act, and Feminism 5.0 will give these new activists the tools they need to push forward, contesting elections, winning seats and changing attitudes.”

And if that’s not enough of an argument to join in, remember that women make up the majority of the UK’s population.

“The shortage of women in politics contributes to a culture that sees women as a special interest group when we are 51% of the population. It normalises gender roles that limit women in work and family life,” Walker added.
