ACHTUNG: Neuer Termin! Die Veranstaltung wird auf den 6. Juni verlegt. “Tales of Women’s Resistance in Contemporary India” explores how Indian women navigate and confront the powerful structures of caste, class, patriarchy, and colonial legacy that shape their lives. Across India, women’s movements are reclaiming public spaces, challenging deeply rooted societal norms, and resisting oppression in both domestic and institutional realms. This talk delves into the everyday struggles, reflections, and aspirations of Indian women as they push boundaries and create lasting change in their communities and beyond.
