Sara Rasikh (she/her)

Biography

Sara's political formation is rooted in feminist organizing and in research that examines how economic coercion functions as a tool of domination. Her work is informed by gender justice struggles in Pakistan, where the relationships between gender, class, and state power become especially visible. This grounding shaped her Master’s research, which interrogated how academic institutions reproduce violence through material infrastructures and the ideological frameworks that uphold them. Her doctoral research will use a qualitative approach to study justice movements at the intersections of gender, migration, and urban labour in contemporary Pakistan, with a focus on the sex trade.
