#FPE16 Mae Ewrop ac ein byd yn strwythurol ac yn sefydliadol anghyfartal.

Anghydraddoldeb rhyw yw un o’r materion economaidd-gymdeithasol mwyaf sydd yn ein gwynebu - ac un o’r anghydraddoldebau mwyaf sydd yn gorwedd wrth

wraidd bron bob cymdeithas.

Amcan y gynhadledd hon yw i ysbrydoli ac addysgu pobl ifanc Cymru a thu hwnt ar faterion ffeministiaidd o safbwynt Cymreig, Ewropeaidd ac yn ehangach gan gei-sio mynd i’r afael a rhai o’r problemau a’r materion sydd yn gwynebu ffeministiaeth

heddiw – fel symudiad a syniadaeth wleidyddol, mewn modd holl gynhwysol.

Europe and our world as a whole is structurally and institutionally unequal. Gender inequality is one of the most important socio-economic issues we face and

one of the greatest inequalities that lies at the heart of almost every society.

The aim of this conference will be to educate and engage young people of Wales and beyond on intersectional feminist issues within a Welsh, European and wider context. Our conference will aim to be as inclusive and extensive as possible by

focusing on various topics that fall under Feminism whilst deconstructing the myths that still plague feminism as a movement and as an ideology.
