About this event
Event Date: 17 March 2022
Time: 11:00 - 12:30
Description:
Jess Phillips, the Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, is the Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding. As is well known, Jess is committed to drawing political attention to the everyday, misogynistic violence against women and girls. Annually on International Women’s Day she reads out in Parliament the names of the dead women who have been killed that year by men in acts of femicide in the UK. She refuses to let those names be airbrushed out of the public eye and acts as the conscience of the Commons speaking ‘truth to power’.
The Women’s Academic Network (WAN) at Bournemouth University are therefore very proud to host Jess Phillips at our International Women’s Day celebrations. Jess will be discussing violence towards women and girls, including femicide.
This webinar talk is an open-to-all public engagement event and will include a Q&A session where the audience is invited to pose your questions to Jess on this issue. You are invited to submit your questions in advance upon registration.
This event will be introduced by Bournemouth University’s Vice Chancellor, Professor John Vinney in conjunction with WAN representatives.
We shall be inviting questions to be sent to us in advance.
