Although the word, gender equality, is heard more frequently than ever, true gender equality will be realised solely when it is for ‘ALL’ women because women cannot be summed up to one as people have multiple identities. It is minority women whose voices are more silenced and whose rights are more restricted.. Yet, ‘minority women’ are not reducible to one too. Within the ‘minority women’, there is diversity and difference. In the interview series “Intersectional Feminism”, we have a conversation with activists of minority women about their experiences, activities, awareness, and so forth.

This series features voices of women of minority groups to comprehend the extent of inequalities, how their identities intersect in particular contexts, and how they resist the situations, labelling, or categorisation of ‘minority women’. Moreover, it aims to shed light on how people who are not categorised as ‘minority women’ can work WITH them for true gender equality and a more inclusive society, forging a sense of solidarity and allies.
