Session 3: Iraade Kar Buland… Language as a vehicle of solidarity In many instances, language brought us together, transformed us, and occasionally divided us too. The words we have intentionally challenged or changed, or claimed, have driven feminist movements to look at issues with new perspectives. This panel examines the interrelationship between language and feminist politics. It also tries to open up the issues that emerge with digital activism today – presenting opportunities to transcend geographical boundaries, languages and silos but also creating new challenges.

Session 2: Aaya Naarivad Aaya… Forging solidarities through collective knowledge production The search for women’s voices and making visible their realities motivated many kinds of efforts at learning and producing knowledge, often with those affected themselves. From action research to fact-finding missions to ‘safety audits’ with a wide variety of groups, the process of feminist knowledge production has been critical to understanding each other, and co-creating our agendas for change. This panel discusses how solidarities were built through these processes, the challenges and questions that came up along the way and the insights from these experiences on what feminist solidarity in the future can look like.
