WOMEN are under attack in every aspect of their lives. This is true both domestically and internationally. This string of attacks must be confronted and defeated, otherwise we face the risk of many of the gains that were made over decades being wiped away in a couple of years.

Yet it is heartening to witness the organised fightback on a series of fronts, which is creating new organisations and leaderships, as well as reinvigorating more well-established ones.
