Digital 50.50: Pakistan’s first feminist magazine you need to start reading

The latest wave of feminism has been largely heralded by the internet – viral campaigns, the spreading of ideas via social media and even the mobilisation of women teaming up to fight everyday sexism. One of the more quiet but powerful forces, however, has been the rise of digital feminist magazines all around the globe. One such magazine is Digital 50.50 which is Pakistan’s first feminist e-magazine. It was introduced by DRF’s (Digital Rights Foundation) Network of Women Journalists for Digital Rights and has now been published online. DRF Head Nighat Dad, while exclusively talking to Mashable Pakistan about the e-magazine said, “Digital 50.50 will give space and assistance to established and aspiring writers, those who want to voice and speak up against injustice, abuse and rights issues. It will also support writers and journalists who have lost their jobs amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.”
