Calling all members of the AWARE community—and anyone looking for ways to get more involved in gender equality work! We’re holding an all-day block party on Saturday, 25 March, and we hope to see you there.

Fair for All is a celebratory community event held by AWARE to commemorate International Women’s Day and the month of March. From morning ’til evening, we’re putting on an open house at the AWARE Centre in Dover Crescent, with free admission to all—including residents in the Dover community, and anyone who wants to know more about AWARE. Come trade pre-loved items at our “free market”, attend mini workshops centred on different facets of AWARE’s work, listen to a panel on the intersection of gender and climate activism, and visit booths featuring local makers and artisans.

This is a chill, entry-level way to get to know your friendly neighbourhood feminist organisation, and make some meaningful new connections.

The Singapore Really Really Free Market

Date: 25 March 2023

Time: 11am-4pm

What’s mine is yours! All goods and services at the Really Really Free Market are shared freely: Anyone with items or services to offer is welcome to set up a stall, and members of the public can browse to their hearts’ desire—no transactions required. AWARE is excited to put on this event in collaboration with Singapore Really Really Free Market (SRRFM), the Singapore chapter of the RRFM movement. RRFM aims to counteract capitalism in a non-reactionary way, by building a community based on sharing resources, caring for one another and improving the collective lives of all.

Please contact Shamima at volunteermanager@aware.org.sg if you are interested in running a table of your own. First come, first served.

You will also learn the five Ds of active bystanding: Delegate, Document, Dialogue, Distract and Direct.
