> . Provide a context that values and celebrates non
> conventional
> and non academic forms of expression of feminism(s)
> which are positive,
> strong and empowering and represent women of
> different ages, cultures
> and backgrounds.
> . Provide a creative book produced by feminist
> activists on their
> own terms and design. It will be compiled and
> reviewed by a panel of
> international experts.
