Her Kajal Won’t Smudge explores the lives of Desi women who are challenging societal norms and unwritten rules that control their lives. In a recent episode, host Shana invites Sadaf Saaz, a Bangladeshi women’s rights activist and poet. The podcast discusses Saaz’s journey with feminism and how her experiences in both the UK and Bangladesh shaped her understanding of feminism. The episode highlights her involvement with Naripokkho, a Dhaka-based women’s activist organisation founded in 1983, which has been instrumental in advocating for women’s rights and pushing for policy changes in Bangladesh.
Shama and Saaz discuss the contribution of the nascent garment industry on the empowerment of women and the importance of women centric workplace infrastructure. Saaz reveals how her garment factory not only empowered women economically but also provided essential support systems like daycare centres and safe transportation, ensuring that women could work with dignity and security.
