Quotes from supporters

It seems crystal clear that cultural "fundamentalist" revivals are centrally about the loss of patriarchal power, privilege and identity and that turning back the clock on gender relations is at the heart of their programmatic obsessions.  I am very excited to see where you're headed with this, as it brings together a number of threads to knit together a much needed theoretical and practical coherence to a rights-driven approach to global events.

Dan Connell, Journalist, founder of Grassroots International, senior lecturer in journalism and African Studies at Simmons College

It is a relief to sense that there are people out there willing to recognise the need for looking at all aspects of how human rights are or are not addressing terrorism, fundamentalisms and women's rights.

Ariane Brunet, former coordinator of Women's Rights Program at Rights and Democracy, Montreal; cofounder of Urgent Action Fund

Only one person sees a vision. Only a few people recognise the value of the vision and buy into it. It is the responsibility of those few to convince others. Now this is our task.
