UNITE TO END ALL GENDER-BASED OPPRESSION!

We started off this month, on Sunday, November 3rd, with a beautiful workshop planned, organized, and led by our Brooklyn women and girl members. The public workshop engaged the women in the Kensington neighborhood about how gender-based violence does not always look like a spouse beating their partner but also the ways in which women and girls are restricted in their movement, what they wear, what they do, or the other ways they are "policed" by others.

The Brooklyn women and girl members made an audio sharing their experiences with gender-based oppression and violence. They used that audio to outreach for three consecutive weekends leading up to the event. We spoke to over 100 women about the need for women to organize.

Then, on Saturday, our members led a conversation with our community about how we can start to end the gender-based oppression that exists in our community.

We are building an exciting women organizing program and would love your support! If you are a Desi/Indo-Caribbean working-class woman or girl living in Kensington, please reach out to us to get involved.
