What is the theme of this year's event?
This year's event theme is intersectionality and inclusivity.
Intersectionality recognises not only differences between identities (such as racial, gender, and LGBT+ identities) but within these. For example, the experiences of women of colour are different to those of white women. It is important that we recognise overlapping identities and that everyone has their own unique experiences of marginalisation and oppression in order to be truly inclusive.
Inclusivity is the practice or policy of providing equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized, such as those having physical or intellectual disabilities or belonging to other minority groups:
Why is the event taking place online now that Covid-19 restrictions have ended?
Based on feedback from staff and Public Contributors, we decided to continue hosting an online event this year due to the uncertainty around Covid-19 pandemic when we started planning the event in January.
