FiLiA

FiLiA is a British anti-trans conference that is known for often attracting protests due to the speakers' transphobia.

History
It has been led by Heather Brunskell-Evans; she was sacked from the Women’s Equality Party for her transphobic views in 2018 and is one of the two main founders of the “Women's Declaration International” (WDI; formerly the Women’s Human Rights Campaign; WHRC), considered “an extreme anti-trans group” and “a key point of convergence” between transphobic feminism and the far right. FiLiA presents itself as “a Women-led Volunteer organisation and part of the Women’s Liberation Movement,” but the group and their conference are rife with transphobia. Like the closely related WHRC/WDI group, the group claims to advocate for “sex-based rights,” a concept used in transphobic discourse. As a result of their transphobic stance their conference has often attracted peaceful protests by LGBTIQ+ rights advocates. FiLiA has accused “Antifa” of being behind the protests against them.
