Now more than ever, on this International Women’s Day, we need leadership with a feminist lens. As the nexus of conflict, climate change, and Covid-19 has radically altered lives and exacerbated inequalities around the world, women have mobilized to defend and protect their communities as doctors, nurses, and caregivers, as elected representatives, community workers, land stewards, and water bearers. Feminist movements and women’s grassroots efforts have helped to build sustainable peace in the face of yet another global upheaval, but their work has too often been undocumented or unrecognized as true peacebuilding. To recognize women’s crucial leadership, we need a holistic, feminist lens. This means analyzing the causes and consequences of patriarchy, addressing the roots of gender inequality, and providing feminist alternatives for peace. So, how are we doing this at The Asia Foundation?
