Fighting discrimination, supporting equality: Young feminism in Bangladesh What does feminism mean to you? Which topics really matter to Generation X und young Millenials? Seven women and a man, participants of a project by DW Akademie and Goethe-Institut Bangladesh, explain what feminism means to them. Fighting discrimination, supporting equality: Young feminism in Bangladesh Esha Aurora, Journalist, Assistant News Editor at the Dhaka Tribune “For me feminism is centered around the fundamental principles of equal rights. Everyone should have equal access to all opportunities, including educational, economic, political, and personal ones. Feminism is intersectional. We have to recognize the nuances of discrimination and fight the root causes of deeply embedded patriarchal value systems.” Fighting discrimination, supporting equality: Young feminism in Bangladesh Ashfika Rahman, Visual Artist Ashfika is a faculty member at the Pathshala South Asian Media Institute in Dhaka. “For me feminism is not just about the equality of women and men. It’s a movement that fights to end sexist oppression and exploitation without neglecting other forms of oppression such as racism and imperialism. They are all interrelated through webs of oppression.” Fighting discrimination, supporting equality: Young feminism in Bangladesh Syeda Samara Mortada, Feminist Activist Samara is the Regional Movement Builder at SheDecides Asia and has been a core organizer of the RageAgainstRape movement in Bangladesh. “To be a feminist is to stand up and speak out about all kind of prejudices and marginalization that exist in society, and to accept all kinds of diversities. I’m a feminist because I know no other way to be.” Fighting discrimination, supporting equality: Young feminism in Bangladesh Tasaffy Hossain, Development Professional Tasaffy has worked on issues such as agriculture, education, gender empowerment and equality. “I’ve been a feminist all my life. I grew up in an untypical urban Bengali family and felt the gendering in society from an early age, even if there weren't words to explain it. I want to encourage others to start noticing these issues and to challenge them for a better, more equal future for all.” Fighting discrimination, supporting equality: Young feminism in Bangladesh Arifur Rahman, Independent Filmmaker Arifur became interested in filmmaking while studying anthropology at Jahangirnagar University. His projects have been featured at various film festivals, including the ones in Berlin, Venice, Busan, Seattle, Locarno, Singapore and Shanghai. “I want to discuss the idea of feminism in my films because I believe that film is a strong medium that can impact people’s lives and leave a positive mark.” Fighting discrimination, supporting equality: Young feminism in Bangladesh Mohsina Akhter, Independent theatre practitioner Mohsina designs, directs, acts and teaches at Dhaka University. “Feminism for me is a social movement that unmasks how physical/sexual bias incapacitates women in everyday life. As a woman in a patriarchal society, I am always at risk of violence. Feminism is the inspiration that lifts my spirit on days when all seems lost and makes me believe that we shall overcome!” Fighting discrimination, supporting equality: Young feminism in Bangladesh Tasnuva Ahmed, Marketing Professional Tasnuva managed ColoursFM, the only feminist radio in Bangladesh as its Head of Operations until 2020. She now has her own ventures in the IT and media sectors and promotes gender equality and rights. “Feminism to me means getting equal opportunities.
