For theatre practitioner and writer Adelia Khalid, building a career in the arts also means addressing the harassment and injustices that threaten the safety and livelihoods of creative practitioners.

This conviction led her to establish Seniwati, an independent feminist arts and advocacy collective working to create safer, more equitable spaces for women through theatre, film and visual art.
