The Personhood Speaker Series aims to create a space to discuss what makes a ‘person’ and whose voices need centering in conversations about gender equality in 2021 and beyond. 

LEAF’s aim in the series has been to tackle ongoing challenges for personhood by asking who is still left out of that concept today. Who is on the margins, and what can we do to include them? 

Trans women have historically been excluded from mainstream feminist spaces, and in the Canadian context, from ‘personhood’ and feminist struggle. These painful realities and narratives are shifting, but unevenly so.  

At LEAF’s closing event on personhood and gender equality in 2021 and beyond, please join our four esteemed speakers to explore the feminist intersectional imperative to include all women in feminism, as well as to dream beyond the binary and open up to gender justice for all. Our speakers will discuss how they do or don’t take up and inhabit feminism and feminist struggle as part of their identities and work – and why.  

The funds raised through LEAF's Personhood Speaker Series will continue to support our work to advance substantive equality rights in Canada through litigation, law reform and education.
