Narrative is critical in order to comprehend intersectionality. Throughout history, the dominant narrative, which reflects male gaze, has fostered inadequacies, inaccuracy, and shaped a biased perspective of women experiences. These exclusive narratives have followed a persistent pattern where males voices are praised and commended while women's voices are often neglected.
LOOM recognizes the prejudice in the monolithic, dominant narrative that is obstructing the feminist movement. LOOM gives importance of bringing feminist narrative to forefront where women narrate their own stories.
Feminist Knowledge Production is a program that focuses on creating inclusive narratives by keeping women's voices at the center of narratives. The experiences shared by the feminist activists from diverse ethnic/caste/indigenous are documented without any alteration in feminist oral history documentation. The feminist oral history documents are Feministnarrative.com archived in the forms of recordings, photos, and text in Feministnarrative.com archive.
