The National Women's Liberation Conference (or National Women's Liberation Movement Conference) was a United Kingdom initiative organised to bring together activists in the Women's Liberation Movement with the aim of developing a shared political outlook. Ten conferences took place between 1970 and 1978.[1] There was a Welsh conference in 1974 and a Scottish conference in 1977.[2]
During these conferences, the seven demands of the UK Women's Liberation Movement were formulated. These demands were for equal pay, equal educational and job opportunities, free contraception and abortion on demand, free 24-hour nurseries, legal and financial independence for all women, the right to a self defined sexuality and an end to discrimination against lesbians, and freedom for all women from intimidation by the threat or use of violence or sexual coercion regardless of marital status and an end to the laws, assumptions and institutions which perpetuate male dominance and aggression to women.[3]
