As if I was going to let #LesbianVisibilityWeek go by without something special for the lesbians (and the trans, bis, pans etc too, of course). SO SO SO excited for this!

At this year's The Wollstonecraft Society lecture, we are joined by Shami Chakrabarti, lawyer, parliamentarian and leading British human rights defender.
