Step 2: Register for “Kashmir’s Freedom Struggle” here

This workshop will delve into Kashmir’s long-standing freedom struggle, rooted in resistance against occupation and oppression. We’ll trace the historical betrayals and ongoing injustices faced by Kashmiris, including the intensification of India's settler-colonial project in the region since 2019. The discussion will expose state violence, media silencing, and the broader implications of militarization in the region. Together, we’ll explore how global solidarity and sustained activism can support Kashmiris in their fight for dignity, rights, and self-determination.
