About Feminism in India
Feminism in India is a bilingual, intersectional feminist media platform covering gender, caste, health, culture and politics. Japleen Pasricha started it as a Facebook page in 2013 and built it into one of India's most-read independent feminist publications. The platform amplifies stories of women and marginalised communities through essays, explainers, campaigns and digital storytelling, and was writing about caste and gender well before mainstream outlets picked those subjects up.
