Women in dispute resolution were a non-issue thirty years ago. No one in the business and the legal communities was concerned about their absence.  Many women and sometimes also men have invested a lot of efforts in fighting against inequality. Amazing and inspiring women throughout the world undertook admirable initiatives and also strived for the rights of women in all fields. A few men have also denounced odd situations. It was daring to break the silence about the dearth of women in dispute resolution! Any initiative is hard to undertake. If initiators see things others cannot see, if they believe in the project initiated and know that their project is valuable, they should take it forward, while being prepared to be criticised and misunderstood. Walking the talk is what makes the difference; if it was so easy anybody could do it. Perseverance is the key to success. It is essential to continue the efforts.
