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.

Solidaritas is now a paid-subscriber only newsletter. This means you will only be able to read the full newsletter if you subscribe. It’s just AU$5 a month or even cheaper at AU$50 a year:

However, citizens of Asian and Pacific nations can 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
