Baishali Chatterjee is Christian Aid’s Global Thematic Advisor on gender justice, currently based in Bangalore, India. She is an intersectional feminist, with over 20 years of work experience in the field of women’s rights and gender equality. She loves raising her 12 year old, being a plant mom, coffee, books and putting her thoughts on paper, in no particular order.
In this engaging episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem speaks with Baishali Chatterjee, who shares deep insights from her extensive career in gender justice. Baishali reflects on her upbringing in Kolkata, where early exposure to feminist literature in her family’s library ignited her passion for women's rights. Her professional journey at Christian Aid involves integrating gender justice with broader goals like economic and climate justice, emphasizing the need to reimagine macroeconomic policies from a feminist perspective.
Baishali discusses the significant role of feminist movements in shaping societal norms and policy changes, particularly through the lens of intersectionality. She underscores the importance of recognizing multiple social identities in advocacy work. The conversation also covers the evolution of societal attitudes toward gender equality, driven by newer, more vocal generations aware of their rights. Baishali’s experiences highlight the ongoing challenges and the potential for real progress through global frameworks like the Sustainable Development Goals.
