Why Contribute?
The Bangladesh Feminist Archives (BDFA) exists to preserve the voices, stories, and legacies of intersectional feminist activists, writers, collectives, and movements. Too often, these histories are undocumented, erased, or silenced. By contributing, you help protect memory, strengthen collective resistance, and ensure that future generations can learn from and build on feminist struggles in Bangladesh.
What You Can Contribute
We warmly invite individuals, organizations, and collectives to share materials such as:
- Personal writings and reflections
- Photographs and videos
- Oral histories and interviews
- Organizational records and zines
- Artwork, protest posters, and creative expressions
- Social media posts, letters, journals, and other ephemera

Please include:
- A short 2–3 line bio
- The date the piece was created

Submissions are accepted in Bangla and English.
Written & Blog Submissions
In addition to archiving materials, BDFA also accepts written submissions and blog pieces that reflect the lived realities, memories, and political reflections of feminists in Bangladesh.
We welcome:
- Stories of activism, organizing, or survival
- Reflections on care, community, or solidarity
- Essays on feminist politics, theory, or history
- Writings about grief, joy, labor, desire, or everyday feminisms
Submissions may be featured on our blog, included in digital/print collections, or preserved in the archive as part of feminist thought and storytelling in Bangladesh.
