Dr Orzala Nemat | This House Believes Feminism Needs The West | Cambridge Union

Dr Orzala Nemat speaks as third opposiiton on Monday 4th March 2024.
The role and relevance of the West today in contemporary feminism is often hotly debated. Does the feminist cause internationally still need Western ideology and influence, particularly when combating practices brushed under cultural relativism? Or are non-Western and indigenous voices the priority for the future of feminism?
