A women friendly event should offer at least a women space only, a creche, a women only sleeping area. It should make clear, that sexist behaviour is not tolerated at this event, as well as no racist, fascist attitude. Women might have special needs to be able to attend an event, e.g. women with kids, or pregnant women, or disabled women should not be excluded, just because the organisers haven't considered their needs.

A general discussion about the "women space only" was raised, when preparing for an event. As well as women, who don't want to take part in "women space only" considered it to be unnecessary and a waste of resources, considerations were raised, how other groups and workshops, activities etc. would actually be influenced by an absence of women, if they gather in a "women space only". Another view was, that the atmosphere and the group dynamics would be much, much better in a "womens space only" than in mixed groups. Here are the views of some activists and parts of the discussion as well as links and documents related to this issue (to be extended in near future):
