Confronting the challenges and creating change: A conversation with Laura Bates

This month's episode of the Divine Feminist is a special one, as Ceryn talks with Laura Bates about her work and experiences to date.

Founder of The Everyday Sexism Project and author of eight books to date, Laura is involved with a number of programmes and campaigns that demand real change from those at the very top of our societies, and works in schools across the UK and beyond to educate young people about sexism, consent and sexual violence.

Her latest book, No Accident, is the second of her fictional works and, though aimed at young adults, provides a powerful and important perspective on these subjects and their impacts upon young people today.
