Our Safer Space Policy

We hope that everyone at the Really Really Free Market (RRFM) is made aware of the idea of ‘safer spaces’ (information will be on the website and displayed around the venue).

We say ‘safer’ realising that no space can be entirely safe for everyone. Although there is often discourse on ‘equality’, we realise that not everyone experiences spaces in the same way as others.

Safer spaces are welcoming, engaging and supportive. We want the RRFM to be a space where people take care of one another. We want people to feel that they can let their hair down and be themselves, knowing that they will be supported.

We are asking people to be proactive in creating a safer space.
People attending RRFM are asked to be aware of their language and behaviour, and to think about whether it might be offensive to others. This is no space for violence, for touching people without their consent, for being intolerant of someone’s religious beliefs or lack thereof, for being creepy, sleazy, racist, ageist, sexist, heterosexist, transphobic, ablebodiest, classist, sizist, or any other behaviour or language that may perpetuate oppression.

What we need to do to create a safer space at RRFM:
  • Respect people’s physical and emotional boundaries
  • Always get explicit verbal consent before touching someone or crossing personal boundaries
  • Respect peoples opinions, beliefs, differing states of being and differing points of view
  • Be responsible for your own actions. Be aware that your actions do have an effect on others
  • Take responsibility for your own safety and get help if you need it
  • Look out for children at all times and try not to leave anything around that would endanger them
  • The space is drug and alcohol free, and smoke-free
Any individual or group engaging in violence (including sexual violence and harassment) within the convergence community will automatically be excluding themselves. The gathering will be asking them to leave the convergence space.

NYW April RRFM Pics!

Hey yooz!

The last RRFM that was held as part of National Youth Week was heaps of fun, and we have the evidence to prove it below.

There were plenty of amazing services offered, skills shared and things given away.
These included Bike Maintenance, Simone's Massage Parlour, Ask a Historian, Social Justice Info, Food Not Bombs, Gypsy Tarot, a Seed Bombing Workshop, Fixing a Bike Puncture Workshop, and several other amazing things.

So thanks to those who helped organise the event, to those who supported people who were organising and especially thanks to everyone who rocked up.

Let's not wait for the revolution, it's right here. See yaz at the next RRFM, 3-6pm, Sunday 20th June!

RRFM on Sunday 21 March: 3-6pm

The Really Really Free Market is on this Sunday:
3-6pm
Stage Area, Hyde Park, North Perth

How does it work?
Bring useful items that you no longer need or want to share freely with other members of your community.

Browse through the things others have brought and leave with what your family needs, regardless of whether you brought something or not.

Bring your talent and give something of yourself: music, poetry, storytelling, lessons.

Or bring your unique service or expertise to share with others: haircuts, painting, knitting, bicycle repairs etc.

Bring a gift of food and share in a picnic lunch with other friends and families from your community or share surplus produce from your garden.

The only limit is your imagination.
