We must unite. Violence against women cannot be tolerated, in any form, in any context, in any circumstance, by any political leader or by any government.

We must turn the greatest collective challenge facing humankind today – climate change – into the greatest opportunity for common progress towards a sustainable future.

SUSTAINABLE PEACE IS POSSIBLE ONLY WITH WOMEN'S FULL PARTICIPATION, their perspectives, their leadership, their daily, equal presence wherever we seek to make and keep the peace.

My observation is China is thinking more as a global player than regionally, in both politics and economics.

Only through women’s full and equal participation in all areas of public and private life can we hope to achieve the sustainable, peaceful and just society promised in the United Nations Charter.

Let us take advantage of the opportunities presented by climate action and lay the foundations for a more prosperous and secure future for all

You are already leaders. Your ideas, your actions and your decisions make a difference. More than any other generation, you have a voice.

I appeal to you to use that power for the common good, the power of communication and the power of networking.
