How can emotions — especially feminist rage — empower and mobilise? What role do emotions play in social movements and struggles for change? This panel discussion will explore the power of feminist rage in reclaiming agency, challenging societal norms, and fueling activism across different contexts.
Speakers and their work

The discussion will be followed by an interactive exchange, where attendees can reflect on their own experiences, strategies for managing emotions, and the challenges of expressing feminist rage in different socio-political contexts. Organised by the Feminist Collective in collaboration with the Gender Centre, this conversation will challenge dominant narratives and celebrate emotions as a driving force for change.
Join us for an engaging conversation on how emotions shape activism, resistance, and pathways to justice.
