Influences: DIY Femme Fest is a multi-gendered collaborative effort made up of punks, radicals, writers and grrls of different backgrounds but with the strong belief that patriarchy should be abolished and gender equality should be upheld.
We celebrate and rejoice female participation within the DIY hc/punk community and its various activities. It is also an effort to show women empowerment within the community itself as females are often labeled as passive supporters of the DIY hc/punk scene.
We aim to create a safe space for grrls apart from promoting hc/punk and DIY, at the same time stimulating discussion and awareness of the many issues and situations that affects both men and women in our patriarchal society.
We are firm believers in equality and we believe that feminism is non-exclusive; people of all genders can identify as feminist. We also oppose any form of oppression, as we believe that every living being has a right to their existence.
If you believe in what we believe, come and show your support at events or activities.
The events includes picnics, workshops (to share knowledge with each other about issues related to feminism and also the DIY culture itself), gigs etc.
