How feminist voices were silenced on the Chinese internet.
Lü Pin
Lü Pin is a journalist, activist, scholar, and the founder of Feminist Voices (女权之声), an online media outlet that inspired countless young women to join China’s growing feminist movement. Lü collaborated with the “Feminist Five,” a group of activists briefly jailed by the government who worked on a range of issues, including anti-domestic violence laws, gender equity, and LGBTQ rights. The Chinese government shut down Feminist Voices in 2018 after it launched a campaign against sexual harassment. Lü now lives in New York.
