When people [at the National Democratic Alliance conference in Asmara in 1995] started talking about democratic laws, the issue of women was raised. Of course [a member of a sectarian party] jumped up and said “so women’s [issues] have come here as well? Just like that from the start? So what do women have to do with that issue? Why do you want to mess up the story?” A party representative actually said that! (Interview with a former member of the NDA Executive Office and delegate to theAsmara 1995 Conference).
