Peacebuilding
Welcome to SEA Through Feminism, a new podcast series by Heinrich Böll Stiftung Southeast Asia and Feminimitr.
In our very first episode, we discuss aspects of feminism and peacebuilding with Khun Ouyporn Khuankaew, a Buddhist feminist activist who has spent shaping spaces for feminist counseling, anti-oppression, and nonviolent action since 1995. Based in Thailand, Ouyporn brings a wealth of experience supporting activists across Thailand and the Southeast Asian region.
Join us and listen in, as we uncover how feminist movements in the region connect, inspire, and strengthen one another.
In Southeast Asia, feminist movements have emerged from deeply diverse political, cultural, and historical backgrounds, yet they share common struggles against inequality, violence, and exclusion. Feminist issues in the region are closely tied to broader social, political, economic, and environmental challenges. Even with limited resources and shrinking civic spaces, feminist activists continue to organize with creativity, resilience, and care for one another.
This podcast series is part of the web-dossier "SEA Through Feminism" by Femnimitr with the support of Heinrich Böll Stiftung that builds on research carried out in 2024 on feminist movements and networks across Southeast Asia.
