About The Feminist Project
This blog is about exploring human rights issues through the lenses of oppression and privilege. Yes it will get uncomfortable at times as we learn and grow, but this is a place where there are no bad questions and ignorance is an opportunity, not an embarrassment. On this blog we encourage and support the intersectional feminist journey of everyone because we understand both knowledge and personal growth are a process that is never completed and ever-evolving.
