Who Needs Feminism is a photo campaign, started at Duke University last spring, aimed to start conversations about feminism and its continuing relevance today. People submit photos of themselves completing the phrase, 'I need feminism because...' to share one reason they feel they need feminism!

At McGill, we'll be doing photo shoots and collecting photos to be put on our tumblr (wnfmcgill.tumblr.com) starting Tuesday, October 23rd. The following Tuesday, October 30th, all of the McGill community is invited to a conversation in SSMU about the week! We are hoping this will be launching point for continuing conversations about feminism - including a structured week of workshops, film screenings, and more next semester!

Check out the Facebook event at www.facebook.com/events/391616724243931 and encourage your friends to participate!
