Writing
In development
An APAC white paper on technology-facilitated gendered violence against women in public life. Drawing on regional evidence about how abuse is reported, moderated and redressed — and where platform and regulatory processes break down for users outside the jurisdictions those processes were designed around.
A bilingual feminist podcast centred on women from underserved regions of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, in Hindi and English.
Thinking about
Current questions
Who actually gets redress when a platform fails them, and what determines whether that answer depends on where you live.
Why accessibility keeps being treated as a technical compliance question rather than a governance one.
How internet governance reproduces itself — who gets into the room, who funds the ticket, and what changes when the composition changes.
Open to
Where I am useful
