A joint initiative by students of the Department of English, Jadavpur University and Sappho for Equality to remember scholar and activist Saleem Kidwai.
Speakers at the event included Ponni Arasu, Shohini Ghosh, T. Jayashree, and Ruth Vanita.
Sappho for Equality, established in October 2003, is the only registered organization in Eastern India that works for the rights and social justice of sexually marginalized women and transmen (female to male transpersons). It uniquely works to create bridges between the so called normative and non-normative populations in our society and positions gender-sexuality within existing development discourses.
