FEMINISM

If you’re interested in some of the issues that Hexed touches on or are keen to learn more about feminism, here are some books, websites, charities and initiatives that I love. And this is just the tip of the iceberg – there are many more.

THE EVERYDAY

SEXISM PROJECT

Set up by Laura Bates as a place where women could record instances of the everyday sexism they experience no matter how big or small, knowing that it helps to feel heard and we’re in this together.

Trigger warning: This website includes descriptions of rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse

UK FEMINISTA

Supports students and teachers to promote gender equality across education – their website has lots of great resources for schools and individuals and they also provide training and campaign for gender equality.

THE F WORD

An online magazine that covers all aspects of contemporary feminism including books, film and tv, politics, music and more. Run by volunteers and open to submissions.

One of the OGs of feminist organisations, is a members charity that campaigns for equal rights for women in all areas of life.

THE FAWCETT

SOCIETY

Brilliant charity who provide period products for those who can’t afford them and provide menstrual education. They’re full on and fun and straight-talking and are encouraging us all to talk about periods more.

BLOODY

GOOD

PERIOD

Make chlorine and bleach free, ethical and environmentally friendly tampons and pads AND every time you buy a product, they donate one to girls and women in need – what’s not to love? Great products and lots of period information on their site.
