March 27, 2025 9 AM NYC time / 6 PM Lahore, 2 PM UTC time. Launch webinar: Roots of Hate: towards collective resistance IN SOUTH & SOUTH-EAST ASIA. with author & researcher, Subha Wijesiriwardena
In an era where fascism and fundamentalisms embed themselves deeper into political, digital, and economic spheres, we stand at a critical juncture, where either we accept this reality as the new norm, or we confront it head-on, as feminists and progressive movements across SSE Asia have long been doing. Published in 2024, Noor’s Roots of Hate SSE Asia is a contextual mapping aimed at exposing the ideological, political, and economic machinery sustaining fascist and fundamentalist actors across South and Southeast Asia regions. The report maps out digital fascism, homophobic and transphobic campaigns, anti-Muslim riots, attacks on feminist movements, corporate capture and austerity measures fuelign fascist and fundamentalist actors, trends and narratives. We are thrilled to invite you to join us for the launch webinar of Roots of Hate SSE Asia. This interactive discussion brings together author and researcher Subha Wijesiriwardena, alongside the Noor team and regional experts to break down the findings, connect struggles, and think of collective strategies for resistance. The launch webinar of Roots of Hate SSE Asia will take place on the 27th of March, at 9 AM NYC time / 6 PM Lahore. We hope to gather to sharpen our responses and to build power to challenge these forces at their root. The conversation will be available in English and Spanish.
