Have you ever been told as a teenager that you have to be really careful because you can get pregnant at 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 in your cycle? Or that if you bleed you must have ovulated? Maybe that you always ovulate in the middle of your cycle?

We follow these principles for safer space in all of the 𝐹𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑒 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡ℎ 𝑇𝑎𝑙𝑘𝑠 events. We understand that it is unlikely, especially in public facilities and events, that all spaces can be made fully safe for everyone. By attending the event one agrees to follow the principles of safer space.

We have a zero tolerance policy for any type of physical, emotional or spiritual violence, racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, misogyny or any other type of disruptive or discriminatory behavior or language. We are not afraid of making mistakes because we know that we’ll have the opportunity to hold ourselves accountable for those mistakes. When we make mistakes - for example defining others in ways that does not match other’s experience of themselves or by touching when our touch is not wanted - we gratefully accept the feedback for the opportunity to correct our mistakes.
