Alexandra Palace Theatre

Gripping, courageous, and eye-openingThe New Age of Sexism exposes a phenomenon we can’t afford to ignore.

Join Sunday Times bestselling author, campaigner and founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, Laura Bates as she discusses a The New Age of Sexism exploring the seismic shifts in the way our society operates driven by AI.

Power remains concentrated in the hands of a few, while new AI-driven technologies, often designed with misogyny baked in, are putting women at risk. Rights and safety are being sacrificed at the altar of profit and speed.

Laura takes audiences through this rapidly evolving digital landscape: navigating the metaverse; confronting deepfake pornography; investigating cyber brothels; testing chatbots, and hearing from schools grappling with online sexual abuse. What emerges is a Wild West where discrimination and harassment are being coded into the future – unless we act now.

Laura is in conversation with Nell Frizzell, a writer and Vogue columnist whose work spans gender, culture, and politics. She has written for The Guardian, VICE, The Telegraph, and more.

For Laura Bates devotees and anyone concerned about technology’s impact on equality.
