Dear friends,

I am happy to share BRICS Feminist Watch’s new publication -- Decolonial Feminism: Charting a Path Towards a Just and Liberatory Tomorrow

By Shubha Chacko

Decolonial feminism is a powerful and evolving movement that seeks to challenge and dismantle oppressive systems by addressing the complex intersections of colonialism, patriarchy, racism, imperialism and other forms of systemic discrimination. This article delves into the multifaceted dimensions of decolonial feminism. Beginning with a contextualisation of the historical impact of colonialism, the article explores the complexities of gender relations within colonised societies, revealing a nuanced understanding that challenges traditional stereotypes. It highlights instances of knowledge appropriation and erasure during colonial processes, showcasing how the contributions of the colonised women were often marginalized or made invisible. It posits that decolonial feminism offers a powerful and sophisticated lens through which to examine and reshape our understanding of history, society, and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality.

Warmly,

Priti
