Non-Muslim Feminism in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
Until now, the figure of the religious minority woman has largely been a silent one in Pakistan’s national conversation on non-Muslim rights—the passive object of kidnapping, conversion, violence, and victimization. This project seeks to bring depth of dimension to the “eternal victim” narrative by gathering the accounts of women belonging to Pakistan’s Christian, Hindu, and Sikh communities. Its goal is not only to understand how minority women are represented and their issues taken up by broader social movements, but how minority women represent and advocate for themselves and their communities to wider publics in Pakistan and beyond.
