The Future of Feminism? is a series of kōrero exploring a range of issues related to gender equity and equality, hearing the stories of those leading change in this area and examining the role of feminism in addressing these issues. Gender equality and equity are still massive issues globally and locally. While people will say that we’ve come a long way, we’ve not come far enough. Previous waves of feminism have improved things for some, but excluded others. We ask those leading change what the role of feminism might be in that future or if there’s a different, better movement for us to unite under.

For Emma, the future of feminism is men and making space for dads.
