::: Feminism Facing Witch Hunting, Land Grabbing, and Patriarchal Control In India
We remember the words and struggles of the activist Shashi Sail about her experience fighting for women’s autonomy. This is a speech by Shashi about her experience defending the freedom, bodies, territories, and knowledges of women threatened and controlled by witch hunts in India. She delivered this speech at the symposium “Witch Hunting In India: A Scandalizing Reality,” on 30th May, 2013. By rekindling her voice and her words, we want to contribute to keeping alive the memory and the struggle of Shashi Sail for women’s freedom | Experience
