Smash Board | About

Smashboard is your digital ally to smash patriarchy! We are a non-profit organization with based in India and France, led by dedicated Indian feminists.
On our website, you can access our magazine, resource map, and podcasts for free. If you have an article idea, want to contribute to the resource map, or have suggestions for podcast guests, don't hesitate to contact us.
We're in the process of creating an alternative social media network rooted in intersectional feminism. However, our award-winning app concept, designed to provide a digital space for seeking and offering support and resources, is work in progress due to funding constraints. If you'd like to support our cause, please get in touch.
We're also enthusiastic about collaborating with feminists from around the world. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in joining forces!
