About Me: I am an indigenous Kankana-ey Igorot woman from the Philippines. I am the daughter of a staunch feminist, but am, myself, a reluctant women's rights advocate. People tell me that being feminist is not about knowing feminist theory by heart or openly professing one's feminism, but about what one does in life and work. I like this characterization of feminism. My Passions: My children, the law, and indigenous peoples' rights. My Challenges: Balancing family life and professional life. My Vision for the Future: A world free of discrimination. My Areas of Expertise: indigenous peoples' rights, international human rights law
