South-South Internationalism: The Pakistan Context

Location: Hall 2 In a world where feminist movements in the Global South often navigate legacies of colonialism, economic disparity, and political marginalization, reclaiming South-South Internationalism becomes crucial. This dynamic panel brings together visionary feminist leaders from across Pakistan to explore solidarity networks that transcend divisions and disrupt Northern-centric narratives. Through this conversation, we’ll dive into how shared histories of resistance and cultural resilience can fuel a powerful, intersectional movement. Join us as we unpack strategies for mutual empowerment and the pursuit of a liberated, cooperative future led by women in the Global South.
