“Speakers at the ‘Collective Action for Ensuring Women’s and Girl’s Participation in Electoral Processes in Pakistan’ forum on Monday highlighted the need for women’s and girl’s participation in electoral processes as an important channel for ensuring that they maintain both voice and visibility, and are part of decision making processes which is essential for a strong democracy.”

Love this.

I recently traveled to Pakistan to screen my film “Feminist stories from Women’s Liberation.” While I was there I had the opportunity to listen to Pakistani people tell me their opinions about the United States drone strikes. I didn’t visit Pakistan to discuss drones, but the topic came up regularly throughout my stay.
