SECWAC Presents "The Extraordinary Non-violent Peace Movement by Indigenous Women in Manipur, India" feat. Binalakshmi Nepram Virtually

Binalakshmi Nepram will discuss the story of the forgotten, former Asiatic nation state of
Manipur located on the Indo-Burma border. She will trace the struggle of the Indigenous
Women of the state, now located in Northeast India, and how they developed a unique
and unprecedented women's movement. Ms. Nepram will throw light on the unreported
conflict region that is home to South Asia’s longest running war, where a martial law
called the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act has been imposed on the population
since 1958; she will also discuss the resilience of the people who have long struggled
for democracy and rule of law.
