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.
As someone who has witnessed those gains and taken part in some of the struggles to achieve them, the pace at which they are being rolled back is truly astonishing.
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.
