SUMMARY:Women and Queer Histories Tour - In support of Homeless Oxfordshire
DESCRIPTION:Make a donation to join a tour in support of Homeless Oxfordshire\nExplore Oxford’s gendered geographies and the hidden stories of Oxford’s unknown trailblazers. This tour highlights the histories of women\, people of color\, and the LGBTQIA+ community through time. \n\nThis guided journey will take you back in time to highlight the many ways women have historically impacted the city of Oxford. We reveal the complexities of navigating university research and family life\, uncover unknown trailblazers\, and discuss queer experiences in the city.

Our guides combine expert knowledge and performance\, ensuring each tour is a fun and educational experience.  \n\nThe “Her Way Home” Appeal\nAbout the Her Way Home appeal \nWomen experiencing homelessness are often ‘hidden’ – forced into sofa surfing\, sleeping in cars\, or staying in abusive relationships to avoid the dangers of rough sleeping or further trauma in mixed-sex hostels. Homeless Oxfordshire’s Her Way Home campaign exists to provide safe\, single-sex accommodation and specialist support to help women who’ve lived through significant trauma find safety\, healing and hope. \n\n            Donate whatever you can and join the tour for free! \n\nCommunity Donation – £5\nStandard Donation – £10\nSupporter Donation – £20\nGenerous Donation – £30\n\nCan’t join but still want to donate? You can do that by buying a ‘Donation only’ ticket! \n \n \nAbout Homeless Oxfordshire: \n\nHomeless Oxfordshire provides an open door for people whose lives have been shaped by trauma and disadvantage; offering safety\, stability and support when it is needed most. They are the county’s largest not-for-profit provider of supported accommodation for people experiencing homelessness.

Many end up on European borders\, including people fleeing Palestine\, Sudan\, Iran\, Ukraine\, and more. \nUK and European border policies have been hostile for a long time\, but continue to escalate in the last few months: be it the 1-in-1-out deal between the UK and France\, or the Greek government moving to criminalise and imprison refugees – simply for seeking safety. \n\n    By attending this tour\, you are generously helping our partners provide legal and psychological aid and defend human rights on Europe’s borders. Border violence is intimately linked to the power structures of empire\, race\, and class\, which have also shaped the rich history of the city of Oxford. We can’t wait to see you at this Uncomfortable tour to learn more.\n \n\nDonation & Ticket Options\nAll proceeds from the tour will be donated to SolidariTee\, to support legal and psychological aid delivered by SolidariTee’s partner grassroot organisations working in Greece. \n\nYour Impact: \n\n£10 is enough to cover rent for an NGO office space for a day.\n£40 (two supporter tickets) can fund a legal empowerment session inside a refugee camp.\n\n\n\n    BOOK or DONATE\n\n\n    ℹ️ Forced Displacement Concession: We are pleased to offer free tickets to people with lived experience of forced displacement.
