Azra Sayeed is a feminist from Pakistan. She’s an academic and activist known for her advocacy on issues related to the rights of marginalised communities, particularly women, peasants and farmers.

She is the founder and executive director of Roots for Equity, an NGO based in Karachi that focuses on working with communities at the grassroots level to attain political, economic, social and environmental justice.

Azra has also served as the chair of the International Women’s Alliance and the Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development, in various capacities since 1999.

She has been fighting the good fight for decades. And for the longest time, she has argued that to be a feminist is to be anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist.

BFM discusses her political-economic views, her work organising women in farming communities and more.
