Vernacular Feminisms: Women’s Movements Across the World
(Vol. 32, Issue 2 - July 2025)
This issue of Women’s Link posits the history of associations between protests and women. Women across the world have resorted to peaceful demonstrations through petitions, sit-ins, strikes, rallies, online petitions, social-media activism etc.as a valid mode of registering their demands and protest against social, religious and political authorities.
Women protest movements on issues of suffrage, curtailment of civil-political liberties, sexual violence, domestic abuse, forest and wildlife conservation, human trafficking, climate change and other everyday forms of self-determinism are well recorded. Irrespective of their popularity and potential, women’s movements are often confronted with the possibilities of assimilation in greater discourses of male-led movements such as the woman’s suffrage movement in the United States being appropriated for political gains by Woodrow Wilson, the simplistic portrayal of ideologically complex feminisms by the advertising industry, or Chipko movement’s later identification with male political authority.
Having said that, the significance of gender difference inherent in women’s protests which makes them apparently less confrontational than that of men cannot be ignored. Cultural stereotyping of women’s roles as procreators/nurturers often determines the responses to women’s protests, irrespective of the fact that all genders are equally prone to expressions of protest. Further, it is imperative that studies be taken up for delineating parameters that fundamentally constitute a legit women’s protest besides earnest focus on the kinds of protests and the tactical repertoire employed.
This issue of the journal invites original, unpublished research papers on the theme “Women’s Movements Across the World”, which may engage with the following sub-areas, or other related concerns:
1. Division of labour within a given protest movement
2. Women in climate activism
3. Intersectionality in Women’s Movements
4. Grassroots politics and Feminist discourse
5. Global and the Local inwomen’s movements
8. Refugee women’s protests
9. Mass Media and women’s movements
10. Women’s protests for reproductive rights
