This is the final episode of our special mini-series ‘Interrupting Spaces’. Over the last four weeks, we brought you stories of women who are interrupting and disrupting the spaces and structures around them through their work, their voices, and their presence.

This episode is an intersection of art, activism, and is a celebration of difference - in stories, songs, poetry...in types of resistance, rejections, revisions and ultimately a movement towards change, equality, dignity - whether that is for an individual, a woman, a group, or the nation as we know it. This episode features Sarita Pariyar, Sapana Sanjeevani, Bina Theeng, Pranika Koyu and songs by Pardafash, Jerusha Rai, Shreya Rai, and Flekke.

This is the final episode of a five-part series, Interrupting Spaces, produced by Boju Bajai in collaboration with the United Nations in Nepal.
