Women Who Roam

A woman bearing witness to her own experience is a political act' - Margie Orford

This is a list inspired by a conversation hosted by English Pen. Originally created in the wake of Sarah Everard's murder, it's patently clear from renewed conversations following Sabina Nessa's murder that we're nowhere near the safety and liberation we need. Now is the time to really engage in conversations about abolition.

We were deeply moved by the way the speakers at the Pen envent - Margie Orford and Kerri ni Dochartaigh - claimed space for women, rooting us in and of the landscape.

As women we demand the right to roam.
