From Shanthi Dairiam, Malaysia

Founder of International Women's Rights Action Watch (IWRAW) Asia-Pacific

Dear Charlotte, Roxanna and Anita

Am deeply saddened to hear that Rhonda has passed away. She fought so hard and really it is so unfair that good people like her go so soon. I have known Rhonda for a long time and have never ceased to be amazed at the sharpness of her intellect, her depth of knowledge, her capacity for a feminist interpretation of the law, her unflagging motivation to change the world for women and her selflessness in sharing information, knowledge and expertise. She went too soon. I am glad that she was surrounded by those who loved her. May she rest in peace. Thank you for letting me know.

Shanthi
