Julie Bindel is a feminist campaigner, writer, and investigative journalist, and podcast host, primarily concerned with human rights abuses towards women and girls. She writes regularly for the Observer, Unherd, Sunday Times, The Critic, Spectator, Telegraph, Mail on Sunday and Tortoise, just to name a few.
Her latest book is Feminism for Women: The Real Route to Liberation (Little Brown, 2021), which explores the tsunami of misogynistic backlash that feminists have encountered this past decade and more.
Julie has investigated the trafficking of women and girls into prostitution for both academic research and journalistic long-form articles in dozens of countries around the world.
Julie has been active in research, grassroots campaigning, advocacy and governmental consultation since 1999. During this time, she has sat on many advisory boards and consultation panels alongside governmental officials, parliamentarians, policy advisors and UN organizations and trained over 1,000 individuals in issues relating to sexual exploitation in more than 20 countries.
With a witty sense of humor and a laser sharp clarity on misogyny, Julie’s presence and wisdom sharing at any event, is thought provoking and sparks meaningful conversations.
