    Ishara Mahat

    I am a development practioner with a particular interest on social change and indigenous development in the developing world. I have worked with various development organizations in Nepal and abroad in different capacities especially focusing on project appraisal and development. I have been a consultant and advisor for gender mainstraming projects implemented by CIDA/Nepal.My passion to do PhD on gender and rural energy issues was built up, as I developed a deeper interest on household energy considering the time and energy spent by women for managing the household energy system in rural Nepal. I looked at the gender implications of alternative energy technologies particularly in terms of saving the time and labor of women, and improving their health conditions so as to increase their production and reproduction capacities.My website is http://geography.uwo.ca/faculty/mahati/index.html

    CRITICAL ACTION

    Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Z’s work.

    Independent media is not disappearing because the ideas are weak.

    It is disappearing because platforms reward speed, outrage, and algorithmic visibility over thoughtful analysis.

    More than 100,000 people read Z every month, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. It takes fewer than 1 in 100 of them to fund all of it: 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone, and build what comes next.
