The group will examine articles, films and advertising campaigns featuring gender topics, discuss current stories and how feminism is represented, explore activism and promoting gender equality in school and daily life, and consider the impact of feminism on young people through social media. The organizer wants to involve the school's feminist society to discuss gender issues in an lively, engaging manner and explore activism such as online petitions.
