Join us for a powerful day unpacking the real issues behind misogyny and how we can make change happen together.
About this Event


In 2026, we have seen relentless evidence of the devastating effects of unchecked misogyny: from the Epstein files to the Grok scandal, so-called “rape academies” and the toxic ‘manosphere’, all operating in plain sight. Misogyny shapes women’s lives from girlhood to older age, across our homes, workplaces and public spaces.

This conference asks:

  • Is misogyny really on the rise, or has it become mainstreamed and normalised?
  • What does the rolling back of women’s rights look like in practice, and why is it happening?
  • Crucially, how do we respond collectively and strategically?

Across the day, we will explore:

  • The prevalence and drivers of misogyny
  • Its human, social, political and economic consequences
  • The solutions, resistance and routes to change that centre women’s lived realities

Join us in June, in person or online and be part of the conversation and the solutions, and to meet like-minded women and male allies.


Programme highlights include:


Keynote Address
Jess Asato MP, Government Adviser on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) to the Department of Health and Social Care

A keynote speech on online safety, including the Grok scandal, public discourse and women’s participation in public life.



Misogyny as Radicalisation
Dr Sajjan Gohel, International Security Director, Asia-Pacific Foundation and Visiting Lecturer, LSE
