Conclusion

Abstract

Abstract The conclusion provides critical reflections on how the enjoyment of sexuality and right to pleasure are integral to the human struggle for dignity even in the face of suffering. The chapter considers this often-controversial issue and the ways it has been discussed by advocates and politicians, including in the Philippines. It shows that renewing feminist activism requires a rethinking of global peace and security such that SRHR is recognized, but not as a collateral issue where patriarchal bargains need to be made in order to advance feminism in global agendas. Rather it should be a cornerstone feminist issue that ties together all sites, forms, and temporalities of gender equality.
