A new feminist collective, “Red Feminist Bloc,” has been launched, advocating for a democracy free from exploitation and a society without discrimination. The group’s inaugural event featured a performance of “The Communist International,” a historically significant socialist and communist anthem. Members also read excerpts from the diary of Kalpana Chakma, a prominent Bangladeshi activist who disappeared in 1996 and remains a symbol of indigenous rights and resistance. The selection of Chakma’s writings highlights the collective’s commitment to addressing issues of oppression and injustice. The event signaled the group’s intention to engage in activism focused on social and political equality. The “Red Feminist Bloc” aims to build solidarity and mobilize action towards its stated goals. Further details regarding the collective’s planned activities and platform were not immediately available.
