As social scientist and feminist activist, Kamala Bashin, once put it, everybody has their own definition of feminism. The Oxford Dictionary may cite it as, “the advocacy for woman on grounds of political, social and economic equality to men.” However, the route one believes that needs to be taken to achieve this right, can and in many cases, do vary, making the feminist cry different from culture to culture and country to country.
Now where ours is concerned, in many ways it is only just finding its voice, sometimes quite literally. “Self respect is a tremendous thing. We see it in our member workers time and again,” says Shristi Joshi Malla, chairperson of SABAH Nepal, the social-business organization which works towards strengthening the livelihoods of poor and marginalized women home based workers.
