They're not shared values for many people within or outside of those communities. We would all be equally critical of those values. Communities and cultures are quite quite complex. There are those with conservative cultural value systems and those with progressive cultural value systems. The alliances that have to be made are with those who want to uphold the human rights of vulnerable and discriminated groups within all communities. That's where we have a common ground. That's where I think the emphasis should be shifted to promoting gender equality, because that's within the framework of human rights and liberal value systems, as well as addressing things like violence against all women and girls.
