joining me mall outresearch your nart for women s network for pakistan and india. it s wonderful to have you out here at the table. i guess my first question is, is this an example, when we link these together, these different places in which there seems to be grassroots women s mobilization, particularly against sexual violence and violence and intimidation. it s just an example in the cliche of journalism, three makes a trend, that we re looking for this there. or in the same way that the arab spring did follow a pattern of contagion in the consciousness, or is there a contagion of consciousness in the grassroots? i think it s a contagion.
