Justine N. Leisiano, human rights defender and Director of RACEP.
This article is part of 50.50's in-depth coverage of the 2016 AWID Forum being held on 8th -11th September in Bahia, Brazil.
Justine N. Leisiano was one of the first people I met at the 13th AWID International Forum, as we navigated our way to the opening plenary together. Then and over the following days we talked about her vision (the forum theme is ‘feminist futures’, after all), her work and her experiences over the past days at the forum. Her very personal experience encapsulates so much of AWID in that it is intensely local but highlights many overarching concerns of the global feminist movement.
