Arundhati Dhuru is a noted feminist human rights defender, led the anti-dam people's struggle of Narmada Bachao Andolan for several years, and now is among the national convener team of National Alliance of People’s Movements (NAPM).

She responds to:

- please help us understand the link you have seen between patriarchy, and alarming rise of religious fundamentalism as well as corporate power in India over the past years?

- women are not just facing the severe brunt of religious fundamentalism or corporate abuse, but also leading social change movements from the front. Do you agree with this based on your own deep experience with people's struggles?

She was speaking in a workshop at Asia Pacific People's Forum for Sustainable Development (in lead up to intergovernmental UNESCAP Asia Pacific Forum for Sustainable Development or APFSD).
