Such informal and open social gatherings do not follow any formal structure of agenda setting and discussion.
Women have been participating in Monday Adda, in Bangla known as Sombarer Meyeder Adda, for about 24 years since January 1990 with the presence of about 30 to 40 women on a regular basis. They come to talk, laugh, share their thoughts on different social and political issues, environment, food and ofcourse sarees.
Poets, writers, singers find it a place to share their talent and enjoy in an informal way. They plan for visits to different areas, decide to join a seminar, protest rallies and anything that is relevant to women's right.
