Sydney Femme Guild is a q***r feminist organisation working to create an awareness, understanding, and ultimately a celebration of femme identity within the GLBTQI community. The Sydney Femme Guild began in December 2008 as a group of like-minded femmes who saw a need for conversation and political mobilisation around femme identities and femme issues within the Sydney q***r community. We are prou
d to say that the group has evolved quite rapidly over the last 5 years, in which time we have marched at four Mardi Gras parades, hosted several fundraising and social events, the Camp Betty, Femme in the Frame and Unpacking Femme conferences and most importantly created and nurtured many amazing friendships. The Guild exists as part of a wider Femme movement happening all over the world, striving toward greater understanding, visibility and celebration of the plurality and fierceness of femme identities. We look forward to maintaining our consciousness-raising and fundraising work and continue giving back to the broader q***r community through grant schemes, events and big femme love. Advocate for self-identified femmes of all walks of life and gender identities. Build connections and raise consciousness of Femmes within and around the community. Give the collective of femmes a voice to promote equality and visibility of femmes in the q***r and wider communities. Provide access to education and mentors, hospitality for our friends and community. Conduct events in furtherance of the above purposes, either by itself or in conjunction with other invited organisations. Engage in all activities that give effect to the above aims.
