“When I wake up in the morning, my first thought is how can I work with women to fight the patriarchy today? ActionAid’s work on women’s rights is at the forefront of this movement and I am passionate about supporting local women’s solutions for change. I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else.I am comfortable to work in a place that I can practice feminism to change our world today”
