How do we build numbers? How do we organize at a colossal scale? How do we build mass cooperation amidst our cultural, linguistic, generational, religious diversity? How do we unite around issues affecting us all?

Zakia Soman guides us through how she and other Indian women's rights activists established Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan, the largest nationwide Muslim women’s mass organization. Their network, coordinated through a massive dispersed network, was also able to displace Muslim male leaders as the national voice for Muslim issues.

We speak with Zakia on how she and others were able to mobilize to resist triple talaq (instant divorce) and inhumane acts carried out against Muslim women—and women of other faiths across India.
