Association for Progressive Communications (APC)

I have done numerous projects for APC. These include a research paper on how sexuality is weaponized in anti-gender anti-democracy disinformation, and a series of policy briefs to highlight and explain select Feminist Principles of the Internet.

The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) is a membership-based network of organisations and activists, founded in 1990, to empower individuals, organisations and social movements to use information and communications technologies (ICTs) to build strategic communities to contribute to equitable human development, social justice, participatory political processes and environmental sustainability.

Mozilla Foundation

I explore how to tell the story of Mozilla’s Fellowships and Awards program in a way which contextualizes the work within a broader movement story, and creates greater and deeper awareness about the issues to which they are responding. I create analytical yet easy-to-understand narrative products for a diverse public audience

The Mozilla Foundation works to ensure the internet remains a public resource that is open and accessible to us all. Since 2019, Mozilla has focused on enabling trustworthy AI as a critical frontier of keeping the internet safe, free and open.

Noor

As a consultant at Noor, I spearheaded a research project which aimed to map fundamentalist and fascist trends and actors across South Asia and Southeast Asia. The report I authored can be viewed here, and was published alongside a similar report about the South West Asia and North Africa (SWANA) regions.

Founded in 2022, Noor is a global feminist and movement-driven think and do tank, devoted to building the power of gender justice and progressive movements to obstruct far right agendas, and advance our transformative visions.

Asia Feminist LBQ Network

I am a member of a three-person research team, and we have been commissioned by AFLN to study funding flows to LBQ+ movements in Asia and the Pacific. Our study intends to delve deeper into the challenges and blocks faced by LBQ+ activists in Asia and the pacific as they try to get their activism funded, and intends to inform a potential future funding mechanism dedicated to queer feminist movements in Asia and the Pacific. The report is forthcoming.

The Asia Feminist LBQ Network (AFLN) is a regional organization in Asia that works to create a sustainable and intersectional human rights movement for the social and political inclusion of LBQ persons.
