About this Event

Over the course of the last six years, the ‘Sustaining Power: Women’s struggles against contemporary backlash in South Asia’ (SuPWR) project has undertaken research to understand when, how, and why women’s struggles succeed in retaining power and sustaining their gains against backlash.

This research, undertaken in collaboration with 16 diverse women’s struggles across four countries in South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan), has provided us with invaluable findings and insights.

Join us for a half-day event, where SuPWR researchers will present key empirical and conceptual insights from the project. You will also hear from leading global feminists from SuPWR’s International Advisory Board as they reflect on these findings in relation to their own geographic, disciplinary, and thematic expertise.

There will be two sessions:

9-11 am: What do we now know? Theorising strategies at feminist frontlines.

11:30 – 13:30 Panel session: ‘Pathways to Solidarity’. Specialist engagement by International Advisory Group members.

Chair: Deepta Chopra, SuPWR Principal Investigator and Professorial Research Fellow, IDS

Speakers: TBC.
