Construction of My Identity and How Education and Culture Play a Role
Check out this amazing story from a fellow sister!
The significance of identity is not really something I considered up until a few years ago. Moreover, throughout majority of my childhood, I repressed a certain aspect of myself that I very strongly identify with today. Much of who I think I am today has a lot to do with education and culture playing a part in shaping who I am and what I consider myself, which is a Bengali woman. Not a Bengali-American, which is what most people perceive me as, but just Bengali.

Rape x Pop Culture Circle [16 Days]
What about those “Blurred Lines?” What happens when rape culture creeps into pop culture? Do we keep dancing and listening? Or do we stop and start to become critical?

Free and open to all races, faiths, genders, and identities!
16 Days at CCNY
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign originating from the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership in 1991. Welcome to the branch at the City College of New York. Established in the Fall of 2011, the branch at the City College of New York Campaign Committee has been supported by students and the community of Harlem. There are events organized around the topic of gender violence. They range from self-defense, learning about domestic abuse, sexual health, and many others.

Patriarchy In Activist Spaces
Please join us for a very important discussion!
Tuesday, November 26th, 2013 7:30pm at the Ya-Ya Network Space
Anti-imperial, anti-capitalist movements do not necessarily mean the politics of the participants are anti-sexist and anti-racist. How do we comfort each other and check each other in a community of activists united to bring down structures of capitalism, imperialism and colonization? How do we as women educate each other and support movements that may hinder our energy and collective power if there are perpetrators of the same oppression organizing together?
*** Please note this event is for female-female identifying individuals only, given the nature of the discussion. ***
