The
Goddess Foundation is a voluntary, not for profit organisation,
encouraging female empowerment and spiritual development.
Awareness of current issues is also part of their agenda,
encouraging women to use their empowerment at whatever
level they are comfortable, to help their world and
the world around them become a better place.
Current
campaigns are encouraging women to use their vote, and
the Waris Dirie Foundation which is fighting against
female genital mutilation.
There
will be the facility to pick up leaflets and chat on
