At Broadly, we like to cut out the bullshit and talk seriously about the stuff that actually matters to women. In the three and a half months since we launched, we've covered everything from witch covens in Brooklyn to abortion pill drones and how much John Lennon actually sucked.

That's why we're holding an intimate three-part series of panels in London, with the creative co-working space Second Home.

If you wanted to listen to some of our favourite women talk and grab a drink with us in person, you can sign up for our next evening event at Biletto here. It's totally free, because hey—it's not like we want to charge our friends.

Join us for our first event at 7.30pm on Tuesday, November 24, at Second Home in east London.

Activism: How can women make positive change happen?

Women's rights are still under threat all over the world, from reproductive health access to the gender pay gap. So how can people make sure that change doesn't just happen, but also sticks around for good? Broadly UK editor Zing Tsjeng speaks to female activists and insiders to find out.

Speakers: Trans activist and Nail Transphobia founder Charlie Craggs, feminist social entrepreneur and Birdsong founder Sophie Slater, Brie Rogers Lowery of Change.org, and Nimco Ali from the Women's Equality Party

Online life: Is the internet a safe space for women?

Death threats, rape threats, and doxxing—it feels like being female online comes with its own unique set of dangers. What kind of expectations of safety do women have, and how can we make the internet a better place? Sign up for tickets on Biletto here.

The Broadly x Second Home series was kicked off with an exclusive dinner to mark the launch of Broadly. We invited over a hundred women we admire and love to join us for a night of eating, drinking, and dancing, with live music from the inimitable pop experimentalist GEoRGiA and a DJ set from Capital XTRA's Coco Cole.

As a taster for the panel series, we also put on a mini-discussion on women and gender with Nail Transphobia's Charlie Craggs, female drag queen Victoria Sin, and drag king, writer, and openDemocracy editor Ray Filar. Check out the pictures and video from the night below.
