These last months, my social media feed has been in constant throes that bounce between disparate coverage of racialized misogynist violence throughout the US and another lineage of state-sanctioned violence against women in Southeast Asia. I write this nearly three months into the most recent military coup in Myanmar, in which military police have detained hundreds of\u00a0 government officials,\u00a0have extrajudicially killed 776 civilian protesters, and either maimed or indefinitely detained 3,813 additional protestors<\/a>. Some of the most visible figures in popular media out of the Civil Disobedience Movement have been\u00a0youth and women<\/a>. International calls to support have meant increased visibility for, not just democracy activists, but also garment workers on strike, and advocates from ethnic minority and feminist struggles for sovereignty.<\/p>\n

It has been hard for me to separate these simultaneous moments of social upheaval; their connections stem from historical legacies of Asian women\u2019s bodies being indexed as violable, as fungible, and as collateral damage of war and neoliberal globalization. Often, service industries, including sex work, massage work, and garment work have been further entrenched by political and economic equalities wrought by intra-Asian, European, and US imperialisms. More now than ever, a call to transnational feminist internationalist solidarity and sustained attention to workers\u2019 and dissidents\u2019 world-making remain crucial.<\/p>\n

In the midst of a global pandemic, increasing global fascism,\u00a0a spate of mass shootings<\/a> in the US, and spectacular upticks in masculinist supremacy, what does this call to solidarity entail?<\/p>\n
