Some of our goals are: to create a feminist network of residents, communities, organizations\u00a0and initiatives in Bishkek for a meaningful engagement; to contribute to building solidarity with existing civil\u00a0society movements, which share our values of justice and human rights; to provide feminist space and\u00a0practices, especially educational resources and activities on resisting oppression and violence, and building\u00a0informed alliances and partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>BFI\u00a0recognizes the complexities and intersectionality of oppression, and are therefore committed to\u00a0prioritizing activism needs, voices and issues of the most underrepresented communities in our city of\u00a0Bishkek. We promote a culture of peaceful civil disobedience, alternative activism, feminist philanthropy and\u00a0issued-based solidarity activism. Our priorities are (1) feminist movement-building in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan\u00a0and Central Asia, including security and wellbeing of activists; (2) feminist multi\/media\/arts and writing; (3)\u00a0sexual and bodily rights, integrity and autonomy education and mobilization.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, see:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bishkekfeminists.org\/\">https:\/\/bishkekfeminists.org\/<\/a> and\u00a0<span class=\"_50f6\"><a id=\"u_jsonp_2_2s\" class=\"_1-tv\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bishkekfeminists\/?fref=ts#\" data-hover=\"tooltip\" data-tooltip-position=\"below\" data-tooltip-content=\"Search for @bishkekfeminists on Facebook or in Messenger to find this Page easily.\">@bishkekfeminists<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are excited to welcome Bishkek Feminist Initiative &#8211; Kyrgyzstan, as a new member of the Coalition for Sexual and Bodily Rights in Muslim Societies (CSBR)!
