 I've come to learn about the true sense of resilience from rural indigenous women. They have taught me the resilience to adapt, the resilience to stand up against any odds to have a hope for a better future. I work on reforming institutions in order to build just and gender inclusive institutions, building the capacities of emerging indigenous women. The appointment of indigenous women chiefs in our traditional institutions is empowering other indigenous women in the villages. Since I have the means and the capacity to amplify the voices that are being left unheard, I think I need to act on it. I am simply fulfilling my responsibilities as a citizen and as a member of my indigenous communities.
