Part 3 Advocacy
How do you respond to these points of view

• What right do you have to interfere in peoples
  lives? Most women here are perfectly happy in
  their traditional roles
• The needs of women and girls are not our
  responsibility. It is our job to look after the
  needs of the population as a whole
• It is women themselves who preserve and enforce
  their traditional roles
• If gender is about both men and women, why do you
  only represent the needs of women?
• Womens issues are yesterdays issues we are
  now more concerned with other things
• If we raise everyones standard of living, then
  women will benefit the same as men
• We cannot consult with women. It would be
  offensive in this culture to do so
• Men are the ones who really support the family by
  earning a wage. Therefore it is men who should
  get the most support
