The education and empowerment of women throughout the world cannot fail to result in a more caring, tolerant, just and peaceful life for all.

I'm feeling a little delicate.

Fundamental violations of human rights always lead to people feeling less and less human.

Burma is not yet a full-fledged democracy. We have started working on the road to full democracy. We have a lot of things to do in order to build a democratic structure and to be become a full-fledged democracy.

All repressive laws must be revoked, and laws introduced to protect the rights of the people.

My top priority is for people to understand that they have the power to change things themselves.

What does Burma have to give the United States? We can give you the opportunity to engage with people who are ready and willing to change a society.
