The women’s committee of l’Association pour une solidarite syndicale etudiante (ASSE) brought together at least 100 people from around Quebec for a two-day feminist training camp last weekend, packed with workshops ranging from theory (« Intersectionality ») to practical knowledge (introductory self-defence).

‘ »The fight will be feminist, or there will be no fight, » promised the event’s description.
