“I can’t remember the last time I felt so at home with a large group of mostly strangers, the atmosphere was just wonderful.”

“I have found it incredibly moving, liberating, and enraging, in equal measure.”

“Thank you, and well done - considering this is accomplished by volunteers it’s nothing short of amazing”

“My first FiLiA conference and the best conference I ever attended!”

“It was incredible to find such a thriving lesbian community at FiLiA, and one that follows the actual true definition of lesbian. It was here that I think I found an independent lesbian feminist voice of my own!”

“Speakers - unimaginably diverse in content and background – what a wonderful thing for a first-time attendee to see ♥”

“I haven’t stopped talking about the inspiring women I heard or the situations they have been in or are in and the bravery of a lot of them. It was at time harrowing but it also gave me enormous hope.”

“FiLiA doesn’t shy away from anything and that’s brilliant.”

“Every year FiLiA energises me in a different way and I am so grateful for giving me this sense of belonging.”

“Jubilant, supportive, fun … but also sobering and serious. That’s how the best politically relevant gatherings are.”

“It was especially wonderful to see working-class women representing themselves and to hear their inspiring stories of activism. Too often we feel left out of feminism by the language used and access to events.”
