Anti Terror Laws and Their Impact on Rural Women in Asia
Especially for rural women, there have been widespread concerns that the anti-terror laws in their countries further marginalise them from accessing natural resources, restrict their mobility, and their organising for empowerment. The RIW TF then decided to embark on a research to study the impacts on anti-terror laws on rural and indigenous women in the taskforce member’s countries, namely, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philippines and India. The project was conceptualised in 2003 and commenced in 2004.
