A book club initiative led by two NGOs promises discussion sessions with a focus on feminism in the South-Asian context

The Sanskari Girls Book Club hosts book meetups every 6 weeks
We're still living in an era where any mention of feminism in daily discourse is frowned upon, or simply ignored — so much so that adding the word "feminist" on your Twitter bio is sufficient to put you under the radar of an army of Internet trolls. Building a safe space to facilitate a dialogue remains a challenge. But it took the collaboration of two NGOs — One Future Collective (OFC), that works towards building youth social leadership, and Strategic Advocacy of Human Rights (SAHR), a collective of human rights lawyers, academics and activists — to take the first step. They saw no other way than combining their two loves — reading and feminism. So, they started the Sanskaari Girls Book Club.
