Bina’s home state of Manipur, India, has been rocked by violence for more than a year. During the past several months, the violence has accelerated between warring ethnic communities. Civilians and villagers have been the target of armed drone attacks, causing loss of life and devastating destruction. Bina and her on-the-ground team in Manipur have been coordinating evacuations and humanitarian assistance at ground zero. In this presentation, she will discuss the situation in Manipur and bring attention to many such hidden conflicts in the world.
Bina has also served as a fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights, Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Governance and at Harvard’s Asia Centre, where she worked on documenting Indigenous nations and aspects of gender and peacebuilding with Indigenous women peacebuilders. Prior to joining Harvard University, she also worked at Connecticut College where she taught the course, “Women, War and Peace.”
She founded the award-winning and women-led Manipur Women Gun Survivors Network and served as its director of programs, and also helped found the Northeast India Women Initiative for Peace; the Control Arms Foundation of India; and the Global Alliance of Indigenous Peoples, Gender Justice and Peace.
We’re very pleased that Bina is also a member of our Satellite Club of International Peace.
