WDI Podcast

Women's Declaration International

This is the Women's Declaration International (WDI) Podcast. Our weekly online webinars focus is how gender ideology is harming the rights of women and girls. Women’s Declaration International (WDI) hosts a range of women from all over the world on Feminist Question Time (FQT) and Radical Feminist Perspectives (RFP) and on webinars hosted by country chapters – all have signed our Declaration or have known histories of feminist activism - but beyond that, we do not know their exact views or activism. The views expressed by speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of WDI.
