Anushay Hossain began her feminist career at the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) working on microfinance and non formal primary education programs for impoverished women and girls in her native country, Bangladesh. She graduated from the University of Virginia in 2002 and joined the Feminist Majority Foundation's Campaign for Afghan Women as Project Organizer.

In 2004 Anushay moved to the United Kingdom where she completed her Master’s in Gender and Development from the University of Sussex, focusing her dissertation on the barriers women face in accessing reproductive healthcare in Bangladesh. Anushay spent a year working at UNIFEM UK (United Nations Development Fund for Women) before returning to the Feminist Majority where she invests the majority of her work on global reproductive healthcare, both at the grassroots and policy levels.
