YWLI's debut blog, Femzone is meant to provoke, challenge and inspire. It is intended to provide analysis in ways that bring out our strength and flexibility, diversity and adaptability as feminists without compromising our core values. Hosted by the YWLI Executive Director, Saida Ali, Femzone will not only inform, transform and inspire you but also entertain you through analysis of films, books and music that point to contemporary issues affecting our society. Femzone intends to step where angels fear to tread. It can only be hoped that Femzone will build alliances and solidarity by reaching out to groups and movements that are otherwise known to be invisible within the social justice circles.
