(A-Radio) Feminism and conflict resolution: the Afed Britain and its Safer Spaces policy

by A-Radio Berlin Tuesday, Mar. 01, 2016 at 12:42 PM

As Anarchist Radio Berlin we had the opportunity of talking to a comrade of the Anarchist Federation in Britain about their Safer Spaces policy. In this interview she tells us about the origins of this concept, the misconceptions and popular defensive strategies and also about the actual practice and constant development of this policy that deals with conflict resolution in political structures and survivor-lead processes in case of physical abuse.
