The charming guest of this episode is Charlotte (they/them) . Charlotte is part of the young feminist activist group Southern Feminist Liberation Front which is active in South Thailand and organized the first pride of the region in the city of Songkhla in 2022. In our conversation, Charlotte tells us about their road to activism, the experience of queer-feminist organizing in South Thailand as well as Bangkok Pride and also the intersection between queer activism and the pro-democracy movement in Thailand.

Talking to Charlotte left us majorly empowered and hopeful for the future with a young generation of queer-feminists stepping up the game. For more background information on particularly the pro-democracy movement and the role of queer politics in it check this blogpost on our website
