“It’s difficult in our region for women to start resisting. From the start we are questioned about the legitimacy of our struggle versus the struggles of men. In our society, male struggles are always viewed as great or marvelous in comparison to how women’s struggles are viewed. We are always told we are merely ordinary. That is always kind of waved in front of my face and it takes a toll especially if you work in the field of advocacy and women’s rights.”
