Draft:Cambridge Radical Feminist Network

Cambridge Radical Feminist Network (CRFN) is a feminist association based at the University of Cambridge with the mission is to combat sexual exploitation of women.[1]

Activities

edit

The group has argued against the degendering of women's bathrooms on the basis that such action raises the risk of sexual violence against women.[2] The group has supported free speech campaigns based at UK universities.[3] Notable figures engaged with the group include British philosopher and writer Kathleen Stock.[4]

The group opposed the views of Judith Butler concerning gender theory and has tied its critical stance towards Butler with its views concerning public debates over transgender rights. The group viewed Butler's perspective as undermining feminist achievements.[5]

The group's president is Naï Zakharia.[6]
