women leaders (at times, with fundamentalist agendas) across the world,
including in Asia (for example, Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh), only serves
to further elucidate this as a serious concern to feminists.
Feminists on the side of justice, rights and accountability should remain
steadfast in their position from the frontlines of our time’s most urgent
and critical struggles: to maintain control of our land and resources;
to redirect humankind towards ecological and economic justice,
equality and universal care, food security and health; to bring greater
commitments to infrastructure – both tangible and intangible – that
serves more, not just a few. To serve these goals, we should be looking to
each other not just for solidarity, but for long-term partnership.
