The Tibetan Buddhist nuns of the Drukpa order are inspiring women to discover their own power through the ancient martial art of kung fu, thanks to their series of now famous self-defence workshops. Alongside this, they are instigating even deeper change thanks to their efforts educating local communities about environmental issues, human trafficking and respecting and supporting women in their societies. When INSP was invited to Trust Conference, the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s annual human rights seminar, we spoke to two of the nuns about their work. On International Women’s Day, we bring you their inspirational story.
