M-Pod|Interview with Maglene Peter - Part I Episode
I hate society feminists who do not touch the basic rights of poor women or the women from the low-class of the society. This is one of the reasons for I hate urban-centered show-case feminist projects like Blank Noise. I met Magline at a time when I had no respect towards the kind of feminism that doing the rounds. Magline is a social activist from the fishing community of Trivandrum, south Kerala. And she has a thing or two to teach us about feminism and activism.
In this interview, she talks about the fishing community, her activities for the fishing community and her experiences in the Tsunami relief camps.
