Throughout history, women have played a crucial and often transformative role in political and social struggles across the globe.

From leading movements for suffrage and civil rights to organising and participating in demonstrations for peace and equality, women have been at the forefront of change.

This rich legacy of female activism and resistance finds new expression in "Women Of Defiance: where the powerful role of women is once again evident in the struggle for justice.
