To Be Feminist is to Be Anti-Imperialist
Recommended
Guest: Azra Sayeed, Feminist Scholar Activist
Azra Sayeed is a feminist from Pakistan. She’s an academic and activist known for her advocacy on issues related to the rights of marginalised communities, particularly women, peasants and farmers.
She’s the founder and executive director of the Roots for Equity, an NGO based in Karachi that focuses on working with communities at the grassroots level to attain political, economic, social, and environmental justice. Azra has also served as the Chair of the International Women's Alliance (IWA) and APWLD - Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development, in various capacities since 1999.
She’s been fighting the good fight for decades. And for the longest of time, she has argued that to be a feminist is to be anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist.
In this episode, we discuss her political-economic views, organising women in farming communities and more.
