FANNY RIOT
WELCOME TO FANNY RIOT!
Based across Glasgow and Edinburgh, our collaborative is working to make spaces safer and standing up for change.
We stand for intersectional feminism.
We choose to challenge patriarchal gender roles.
We fight for safer music spaces for all.
We support women supporting women.
We make sure non cis male voices have the chance to shout just as loud.
WHAT WE DO
STANDING FOR CHANGE
Anarchists in the streets, fundamental rights in the sheets. As protest provacateurs, we stand loud for the voices which go unheard.
ON-SITE SUPPORT AND ADVICE
Through our FLAPS project, we provide an open ear, support, and advice at festivals for anyone who has experienced sexual harassment or assault - or just needs a safe space to reset.
RAISING AWARENESS
Rape culture cannot continue to be ignored by those it has not harmed. We raise awareness not only of the threat it poses to our communities, but also of suitable support which should be on offer.
FORGING COMMUNITY
Through our events, we offer a lighthearted, open minded and supportive space where women, non binary people and allies can connect. Together, we are stronger.
“Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you and me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets and sedition"
