ESSAY
Third Space Feminism (TSF) by Trisha Nashtarin
The title encompasses the inception of my activism ten years ago, and the future I envision. I am a feminist organizer and a foresight strategist from Bangladesh. In 2011, I founded Meye Network, a feminist grassroots organizing platform, as a response to gender discrimination in the workplace, It was in June 2011. Already two and a half years in the blogging ecosystem of Bangladesh, I was exposed to the sexual innuendos and sexist languages in digital spaces. I was seeking a space where I could speak to other women about gender-based abuse and discrimination. Not having found any such spaces, I decided to create one myself. That is when I started Meye (girl/woman in Bangla) as a group on Facebook.
