We want to focus on:
* Intergenerational feminism - to build a strong movement in the UK we needed to call upon the wisdom, successes and failures of previous generations of feminist activism.
* Feminist history – we want to learn from history, not turn history into ideology to perpetuate the status quo.
* Feminists Against Borders - looking at how feminism and no border politics intersect, and how immigration laws are particularly damaging for women.
* Queer feminism – we want FAF to be open to people of all genders. Our definition of 'women' is trans-inclusive to all self-identified women.
* No more Rape Culture - FAF is mobilising around the closures & downsizing of Rape Crisis Centres. We also want to create dialogue about issues surrounding sexuality, relationships, power & consent.
