- To encourage communication between women and to provide a creative space and platform to inspire and empower women of all ages and backgrounds
- To promote self-expression in a non-threatening and non-judgmental environment
- To discuss feminism in the context of music, film, the arts, and performance as well as in how it affects our everyday lives
- To breakdown stereotypes, prejudice and cultural laws that are imposed on us
- To celebrate and promote the wealth and diversity of women's talent in the arts
- To challenge people's ignorance and prejudice, and to encourage individuals to see the personal as political

LADYFEST TIMISOARA is a positive outlet for our anger in response to cowardly and insidious sexism that exists in our everyday life! This manifesto is a work in progress and will always be a work in progress! If you have a question, please ask us! If you have a problem, please tell us and talk to us! contact
