This exploratory study is part of a larger project to imagine online spaces as spaces for care, community and pleasure. the study explores how people navigate online spaces and platforms, how they are circumscribed in expressing desire, how they circumvent the limitations of that space, and how they live and want to live on the internet, particularly how specific communities in Bangladesh who use the internet heavily – sex workers, members from the LGBTQI community, students and youth – are creating those online bastions of support for themselves and how to facilitate their efforts.
