FEMINISM AT THE HALL

How to Be a Woman Online with Nina Jankowicz – 30 August

Misogynistic harassment is a feature for working women in online spaces from politics, media and advocacy to academia and more.

Join the VTHC Women’s team for a special Feminism at the Hall event with international guest Nina Jankowicz, author of How to Be a Woman Online and How to Lose the Information War. Called the essential handbook for fighting against online harassment, How to Be a Woman Online provides a step-by-step plan for dealing with harassment, abuse, doxing and disinformation in online spaces drawing on research into the treatment of US Vice President Kamala Harris.

Nina will be joined by Van Badham, Guardian Australia columnist, theatre-maker, activist and author of QAnon And On: A Short and Shocking History of Internet Conspiracy Cults. This not to be missed Feminism at the Hall will be facilitated by Wil Stracke, Victorian Trades Hall Council Assistant Secretary and avid TikToker.

This event is for anyone interested in women's safety, disinformation and fighting back against online abuse and harassment.

This is a free event, registration essential. Van and Nina will be doing book signings and a new range of We Are Union merch will be for sale!

When: August 30, 5.30pm – 7.30pm
Where:
Victorian Trades Hall Council, 54 Victoria St, Carlton.
