Solidaritas #143
Inside India's first 'divorce camp for women'
Good afternoon!
Solidaritas is a fortnightly newsletter about women’s rights, feminism, and gender in Asia and the Pacific, covering the entirety of this huge region: from Afghanistan and Pakistan in the west to Kiribati and Cook Islands in the east.
As of today, as mentioned in the last newsletter, Solidaritas is a paid only newsletter. This means you will only be able to read the full newsletter if you subscribe:
However, citizens of Asian and Pacific nations will still be able to receive the newsletter for free - just respond to this newsletter via email (just click ‘reply’) and I’ll add you as a subscriber.
In solidarity,
- Kate
