Universal Tactics, The Real Enemy, and The Rigged Game

The concept of 'universal tactics' involves evidence-based interventions accessible to everyone. Additionally, there are specific challenges facing women, referred to as the 'real enemy', which relates to the reluctance to identify and confront patriarchal structures. The 'rigged game' signifies the unequal obstacles women face in accessing power and resources, influenced by factors such as race and creed. This idea is illustrated by the 'Hunger Games', where the real enemy is the oppressive system itself.
