The Isis International Activist School for Women Human Rights Defenders is an 8-day training for human rights or women’s human rights advocates working in conflict and politically dangerous situations. Women human rights defenders (WHRD) promote and protect their own rights, and the rights of others. WHRDs face a litany of threats in their line of work.  This is exacerbated by the fact that they are women challenging the status quo, or because of the nature of their work which focuses on defending women’s human rights. The current backlash against women’s struggles and their achievements have made these risks and attacks more grave and incessant.

The 20th century has seen the inclusion of an increasing number of women, both as voters as well as parliamentarians. However, statistics continue to reflect the under-representation of women in political institutions and structures at the local and national levels. As of 2011, women account for 18.9% of members of Asia’s legislatures, up from 13% in 1995. While women have taken initiatives to engage in decision-making and occupy leadership roles, they have had to do so in the face of many challenges ranging from cultural barriers to growing influences of neo-liberal globalisation, fundamentalisms, and militarisation.
