The Gynae Feminism Corner

Gynae Feminism is a relatively new concept in the world and unheard of in Pakistan. Though this term emerged as an intersection between the feminist and ecological movements, both founded by a similar connection to suppression: environmental degradation and oppression of women, it is yet to hit the popularity or recognition charts. Uks takes up the concept in Pakistan and starts a healthy discussion on women’s reproductive health. This discussion – a podcast – hosted by Uks’ projects manager Shaista Yasmeen, is a weekly feature and is featured live on our Facebook page every Saturday. Dr Tahira Kazmi, a famed gynaecologist -cum- gynae feminist and Uks’ director Tasneem Ahmar talks about different health issues related to women. Dr Tahira answers the queries of women from across Pakistan received through a specially designated WhatsApp helpline set- up by Uks
