Dear all, thank you for coming here today. We will take questions and comments after all the presentations. You can write in the chat or raise your hand for participation.

Thank you Nazneen. I great insightful work.Just curious a little more about your engagement with theoretical framewok capturing the limitation of the existing approach of awareness building.

Please mute yourself if you are not a speaker. Thanks

Thank you, everyone. I need to head to another panel. I look forward to catching the rest of this in the recording.

@Nafisa, as you powerfully pointed out how the mainstream urban feminism/NGOs failed to address and reveal néo-libéral exploitation and how intersectional conversation has not been built adequately, do you find any other feminist consciousness/solidarity evolving organically within the society? How do you envision a way forward for any effective change?

I can’t believe how much you packed into that talk!

@Sayema, Shifa can talk about the work of Activist Anthropologists and some of the work their group has done. There have been some amazing grassroots labor organizing by Bangladesh garment sromik shonghoti and Bangladesh garment sromik oikko forum and many others

When it comes to feminist knowledge production, is the scene painted by the panelists unique to Bangladesh? Can this scene be extrapolated to other regions in South Asia?

But it's tricky. Without continuous funds/resources, it's hard to sustain any grassroots organizing, so the impact has often been meaningful but small

Thank you Nafisa, for your answer! I am also curious about social movements that address women issues.

@Umama, your talk provided the compelling picture of the most recent uprise in the midst of long evolving anti-rape movement. It depicts how this movement has been transformed in terms of rhetoric and language as well as tactics and strategies. How do you evaluate the achievement of this uprise? How hopeful are you as a young activist?

This is so powerful!!!!!

Thank you so much

I have a question for Nafisa apu! How do we leave space for individual feminist actors’/orgs’ agency in deciding how they are engaging with the ngoization of the feminist landscape while critiquing this trend?

Thank you Shifa! Make sense!

@Umama, I concur the long-term approach believing women’s is the longest revolution! In solidarity and with sisterhood!

Thank you so much for asking your question

Thank you so much for having me. Learnt a lot from everyone.
