Engagement & Outreach
The Engagement and Outreach portfolio exists to expand, broaden, awaken and further the feminist journey of individuals. This is done through:
Feminist Festivals exploring radical feminist topics;
Engagement and outreach events designed to challenge feminist perspectives.
The portfolio aims to challenge and expand the feminist horizons of attendees, developing them into more intersectional, inclusive and radical feminists dedicated to pushing for structural, societal change.
One of our largest events each year is the Brisbane Feminist Festival. The Brisbane Feminist Festival (or BFF for short) is a one-day event hosted in Brisbane, featuring panel discussions, workshops, seminars, interactive spaces and more! It is a massive event and requires all hands on deck to make it a success.
Our team in Queensland and Victoria also host Engagement & Outreach events throughout the year. These events include things like:
International Women’s Day;
International Day of the Girl Child; and
Events aligned with our monthly themes.
Welcome to your Team!

portfolio goals
For the next five years, a key goal has been developed for the Engagement and Outreach portfolio:
Growth and development of online and offline engagement and outreach events to focus on inspiring, upskilling, educating and driving members of the feminist community to take radical, tangible action and advocacy against structural gender inequality.
In 2021, the Engagement & Outreach team have the key target of the growth and development of online and offline engagement and outreach events.
This is to be measured by:
Delivery of four online and/or offline engagement and outreach events annually dedicated to tangible upskilling of the feminist community;
85% of attendees believe they have learnt something from the event; and
65% of attendees will take what has been learnt and will take action in their communities.
