2013: Email Inviting Participants to a Meeting at Leylek
We are all exhausted by the tensions that grew after the events at the March 8 Night March and triggered debates about feminist politics that have continued over the past years. As lesbian, bisexual and trans women and women who do not identify as LBT, we believe that standing side by side at the March 8 Night Marches should not be this difficult.
As feminist women and trans people from the feminist movement and from within and outside the LGBT movement, troubled by the LGBT and feminist movements being set against each other and feeling a need to be together, we want to come together to think collectively about how we can prevent this rupture and establish a new basis for discussion without disregarding existing criticisms, disagreements and hurt.
In the first meeting, we aim to produce a text by reviewing the minimum common ground we share specifically concerning the march.
Let us meet on Saturday, March 23, at 13:00 at Leylek Kafe (Küçük Parmakkapı Sokak, No:15/3) to discuss how we can move forward together..
See you on Saturday!
