My top-notch colleagues @dschweppCAF & Cleodie Rickards’ latest blog asks “What can we learn from a feminist approach to philanthropy?” following recent @Alliancemag event.
Loads of great stuff on participation, power, funding movements etc.

The panelists couldn't or wouldn't answer "what is a woman?" - the idea that gender identity is what matters and that the fact that women are a sex should be made unspeakable is being imposed through the philanthropic relationship. It turns feminism inside out.

Yes.... one that needs to be talked about i think! (hopefully look out for my letter in
