[close] Girls Against began as a campaign that aimed to establish a discussion of the issue of sexual assault at gigs and although this discussion has been firmly established, we are still working on expanding it. We are hoping to use this book club to bring to light the issues surrounding it - i.e the deep-rooted attitudes installed in our culture that have made sexual assault at gigs commonplace. We want to stimulate discussion whilst also amplifying the voices of authors whose views are in alignment with the campaigns whether they are authors of fiction/non-fiction texts or poetry. We'd love for you to join us in reading and discussing some thought-provoking and interesting texts!
