Lateef was a longtime gender equality activist, considered an inspiration behind the feminist movement in Fiji.[1][5][6] In 1990, while at Melbourne, she published "Rule by the Danda: Domestic Violence Among Indo-Fijians," which is considered one of the earliest studies of domestic violence in Fiji and a seminal work of feminist research in the country.[5][7]
In 1992, she began working as a junior gender specialist at the Asian Development Bank in Manila.[4][5][6][8] Among her work at the ADB, she is best known as the architect of the bank's Policy on Gender and Development, which guided its efforts to support equality for women.[6][9] Over 23 years at the bank, she pushed for the organization to recognize how development projects can impact women in often overlooked ways.[4]
Lateef retired from the ADB in 2015, having reached the title of senior adviser on gender.[4][6] She died the following year on February 11 in Brisbane, Australia, after a long illness.[1][5][6]
