If no one listens to your call, walk alone | Leesa Gazi | TEDxLSE

In Bengali, Birangona means ‘Brave Woman’ and this was the honourific granted to the hundreds of thousands of survivors of the campaign of rape carried out by the Pakistani military and their Bengali collaborators in the Liberation war of Bangladesh in1971. Leesa Gazi and the Komola Collective celebrates International Women's Day by standing guard over the voices of the silenced. Leesa Gazi is a founding member of Komola Collective, a London-based theatre and arts company dedicated to telling stories from women's perspectives. Leesa met 21 Birangona women in Bangladesh in 2010. Their individual stories are largely hidden and forgotten. Leesa started collecting their personal accounts to document their stories and from this, working with Komola Collective, a theatrical piece emerged. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
