NOOR is a new feminist and movement-driven think and do tank devoted to building the power of gender justice and progressive movements to obstruct far-right agendas and advance our transformative visions. We coordinate a transnational network, expose and oppose the resurgent right, and facilitate strategic alignment and strategy development. We organize to help bring systemic alternatives into reality. WEBSITE: https://wearenoor.org/ ROOTS OF HATE: FASCIST AND FUNDAMENTALIST NARRATIVES AND ACTORS IN SOUTH ASIA AND SOUTHEAST ASIA REGIONS.
