Panel

21- Panel Title: Violence against women in South Asian countries

Abstract

 Following #Metoo, we heard feminist demands for breaking the silence grow louder. However, at the same time, we also witnessed the cost that survivors needed to bear to speak out. 5 years since the #Metoo movement, this panel aims to critically explore what we have won, what we have lost and imaginations of the future feminist movements in South Asia.
