Land Rights and Climate Justice (in Thai)

Gender-based Violence

We discuss the brutal manifestations of patriarchy in Asia, from corrective rape to family-led conversion therapy, and dive into the severe funding gap where the region receives less than 1% of global LGBTQ+ funding. Despite these challenges, we explore the resilience of grassroots groups and the rise of "green flag" organizations prioritizing language justice, rural safety, and collective well-being. Join us to learn why challenging structural power requires a movement as intersectional as the lives it seeks to protect.

Land Rights and Climate Justice (in Thai)

In our second episode of SEA Through Feminism, we explore the intersection of environmental justice and land rights with “Tai” Oranuch Pholpinyo, a veteran activist with over thirty years of experience defending Isaan communities. Based in Thailand, Tai shares her journey from witnessing state-led evictions to leading the Isaan Land Reform Network (ILRN). Join us as we discuss how land serves as the foundation of life, why climate policies like carbon credits often burden the poor, and how feminist and LGBTIQA+ movements are essential to challenging the structural power of large corporations. Tune in to learn how local struggles for agroecology and justice are connecting across Southeast Asia to protect both the planet and its people.

Peacebuilding

Welcome to SEA Through Feminism, a new podcast series by Heinrich Böll Stiftung Southeast Asia and Feminimitr. In our very first episode, we discuss aspects of feminism and peacebuilding with Khun Ouyporn Khuankaew, a Buddhist feminist activist who has spent shaping spaces for feminist counseling, anti-oppression, and nonviolent action since 1995. Based in Thailand, Ouyporn brings a wealth of experience supporting activists across Thailand and the Southeast Asian region. Join us and listen in, as we uncover how feminist movements in the region connect, inspire, and strengthen one another.
