After 6 years of running as a voluntary group, the time has come to build on the great work FWFC has done and move forward in a new direction. News and info will be announced on here once things are in place.
FWFC started life as a group of women, inclusive of trans and non-binary folk, who were united by concerns around gender discrimination and the will to do something about it. Using our collective skill set, we worked with other organisations and people doing good work in the region to make a positive difference through activism, awareness-raising, fundraising and artistic engagement.
Thank you to everyone who has supported FWFC and its work in the different ways that you could. Without your belief in us, a small group of people contributing in our own way to the movement for gender equality, we could not have achieved anything.

If something doesn’t feel right, there are people out there who will listen and who will believe you. When you pick up the phone to speak to someone, we will believe what you say, and take it from there to support you in whatever way you need. Anna, BSWA
