Future of Tyranny, by Women against fascism
Over the last years, political discourse has been dominated by discussions and warnings about extremism. As activists, commentators and citizens alike keep considering solutions to the extremist threat, we find inspiration in the anti-fascist movement and in the long tradition of women opposition to fascist movements in particular.
This panel of Brussels’s shakers and movers will launch ‘Women Against Fascism’ network and introduce various themes and projects worth of attention to face the future of tyranny head on – from fighting inflation to save democracy, to the gender gap among young fascists and deconstructing the white saviour.
