Feminist Blogs That EVERYONE Should Follow

By Posted on 0 Comments 0 min read 1120 views

We don’t know about you, but we’ve been doing a lot more scrolling on instagram than usual this quarantine. We’ve seen all the instagram challenges, tiktok reposts, skincare routines and a lot more. But along with all that, we also discovered some really cool accounts that we think everyone should be following, regardless of gender. These accounts stand up for women, support women and empower women. Scroll down to learn more about them and follow them asap – your feed will thank you for it!

1. Feministan

What’s better than an account that is not just about feminism, but about actually educating one on the principles of it? Feministan is a gold mine and we truly believe everyone should be following this account. From having a series that puts light on the ‘women of Pakistan’, to educating people on home based women workers and to sharing the names of various Pakistani feminist books – feministan will keep you busy for a while! Plus, we love how colourful and aligned their feed is.

2. Big Brown Forehead

This account is battling social norms in one of the best ways – through art! From illustrations that demand the smashing of patriarchy, to ones that call out beauty products that claim women need to look a certain way; we love everything about this account, and we’re sure you will too!

3. Brown Girl Voices

There is nothing we love more than empowering fellow women. After all if women don’t support women, who will? And that’s exactly what Brown Girl Voices is about. They showcase the abundance of talent present amongst the women of our country, whether that’s in music, art or poetry. They quite literally give women a voice!

6. Bhain Hood

This is such a genius account that we feel everyone needs to go follow it before we even go further. Are you done? Okay, great. Bhain Hood is about giving women a space to be their true, raw and authentic self. You can rant, laugh, discover, be loud, and above all – not be judged. They know how to not take themselves seriously and still be true to who they are, and we so admire that. If you want to get lost in an account for a while, let it be this one.

8. Dastak

Dastak puts out information that everyone should be aware of. They provide their followers with resources relating to dowry, marital problems, domestic violence and much more. They also consistently try to educate their followers on what is a myth and what is an actual fact so that women especially, are aware of their rights. It’s an account that will help us and inform us – let’s follow it and allow it to do that.

10. The Pakistani Feminist

There can never be enough accounts sharing content that propagates equality of the sexes, but The Pakistani Feminist makes it a point to post a lot of educational content regarding it and we love that. From discussing things like the wage gap, to calling out problematic behaviour in our society – this account is perfect for your daily dose of feminist content.
