AMA I’m a conversion therapy survivor

Ask Me Anything as a conversion therapy survivor in Singapore. I hope to be able to equip folks to help their queer Christian friends.

 

I’m hosting an AMA as a conversion therapy survivor in Singapore to allow people to ask what they’ve never had a chance to do before. (Feel free to key in your questions into this Google Form if you’d like me to prioritise your question during the session.)

As someone who’s been in an evangelical megachurch, then a smaller Presbyterian one, and now finally finding my chosen family at the country’s only queer-affirming church (Free Community Church), I will also provide some useful tips and practical suggestions on how to support your queer Christian friends so that they don’t make the same mistake I did.

Finally, I will be sharing a bit about my Indiegogo crowdfunding book project: “Fearfully & Wonderfully Made: Letters from Conversion Therapy Survivors in Singapore” in the last 5 minutes of this workshop.

Please note that there is a small fee of S$7.20 (excluding Eventbrite admin charges) for this session. This fee goes toward workshop materials.

If you have financial difficulties but are keen to attend, please contact us and we can work something out.

Entrance to the event by ticket only, all gatecrashers will be turned away.

27 April 2023: Feminism for All Workshop

Please note that users have experienced difficulties checking out on Safari – we recommend using Chrome or Firefox.

What does it mean to call yourself a feminist? What are feminist ideologies and how can we apply them to our daily lives? What are the most expedient ways to fight for gender equality?

These questions might not always have neatly defined answers. After all, the ideas and the discourse around feminism can be complicated – especially when theory comes up against the complexities of reality.

Feminism For All is a workshop for anyone who wants a dedicated occasion to discuss, unpack and gain a better understanding of feminism. Whether you are curious to learn more about gender equality in the Singaporean context, or want to advance along your own feminist learning journey, this interactive workshop will provide an overview of the foundational principles behind the movement, outline how they inform AWARE’s work, and empower you to apply various feminist values to your daily life.

This hands-on, in-person masterclass led by AWARE members will have interactive segments, including small discussion groups and presentations.

Workshop outline:

  • Introduction to key terms
  • Brief history of feminism
  • Overview of core feminist concepts
  • Feminism in Singapore
  • AWARE’s work
  • Q&A

The entry fee for this event will go towards refreshments for all attendees.
