China's Feminist Five

Sunday, 3 May 2015 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm

We chat about feminism and LGBT activism in China following the Free Chinese Feminists campaign which successfully pressured the Chinese government to release 5 young women who had been detained for 37 days for a planned action on sexual harassment. Lia speaks with Dr Wang Zheng of University of Michigan, who was active in the campaign and one of the founders of Chinese Society for Women’s Studies (海外中华妇女学学会) back in the early 90s.
