 It takes real courage to stand up for women's right. The conflict includes sexual and reproductive rights in many parts of the world in this 21st century. In countries across every region, women are suffering from increasingly regressive legislation, threats against activists, and a renewed obsession with controlling their decisions. In the past year, a new movement for justice has risen up to combat the abuse and sexual exploitation of women, the Me Too movement, an expression of solidarity and a force for dignity that is much needed, including in the wealthiest societies. Wherever I have traveled, I have been privileged to meet women who defy restrictions on their freedom. These resilient and powerful women teachers have indeed taught me that every individual can help to reshape society and the world.
