In addition to cultural and women's*political work, regional, national and international networking in this field and diverse artistic projects in and on these topics, the activities also include concrete advice and support for the professionalization of women* in art and culture.

FIFTITU% has turned 20 this year, as has the Linz-based Radio FRO. To mark these anniversarieswe are broadcasting a repeat of "20 Years of 20 Voices".

We spoke with the editors of feminist programs Claudia Dworschak, Helga Schager and Michaela Schoissengeier from SPACEfemFM on Radio FRO.

After 20 years, FIFTITU% has had its logo redesigned by the artist Astrid Benzer.
With regard to the new design, the website was immediately adapted and the networking center presents itself in a new, contemporary style in 2018.

Dear campaigners* and supporters* of the women's* referendum,
the registration week from October 1 to 8 is all about everything: we have 7 days to get people to sign the women's petition. Be there when we canvass for votes for the women's referendum on the streets in front of the registration locations during the registration week.
Whether you take part alone or as a group - we will coordinate your efforts and send you everything you need to make a convincing appearance in front of a municipal office near you.

At the end of 2017, three women's advice centers in Upper Austria were informed at short notice that 100% of their annual funding from the state's women's department would be discontinued.
The example of Upper Austria is one of many since the change of government in Austria in 2017 and the pan-European shift to the right since 2015 at the latest. However, it is a wonderful little lesson in the gradual disintegration of democracy.
