S4E10: Bold Activism in the South Asian Gender Justice Movement

Listen to this powerful narrative from Shamita Das Dasgupta about the South Asian Gender Justice Movement. In the seventies and eighties, South Asian women across the nation started addressing feminism that was different from white feminism where issues faced by immigrant women were raised. This momentum led to the growth of the South Asian gender justice movement which impacted South Asian survivors, advocates, communities, and the larger society. Please listen to this episode to learn about the early stage of the movement building, where we are now and where we need to go.
