Les/Bi Women Discuss Ageism, Sexism, And Diverse Abilities
posted (March 6, 2020)
Sunday is world International Women's day and this morning P.E.T.A.L held its annual women's forum. The NGO's mission is to promote empowerment through Awareness and it brings lesbian and bisexual women, and other allies together to discuss topics of national interest.

This year that meant a discussion about ageism, sexism, and diverse abilities. And Petal's co-founder says that this discussion forum is essential because women are often most heavily impacted by the issues of the day.

Petal provides a space for lesbian bisexual women to learn about a broad range of issues. Throughout the year the organisation also provides counselling, skill development training, and family events.
