I'd make a comment at a meeting and nobody would even acknowledge me. Then some man would say the same thing and they'd all nod.

Women have a lot to say about how to advance women's rights, and governments need to learn from that, listen to the movement and respond.

People learn to lead because they care about something.

Sexual, racial, gender violence and other forms of discrimination and violence in a culture cannot be eliminated without changing culture.

What is being called the UN 'gender architecture' is more like a shack. Women need a bigger global house if equality is ever to become a reality.

We need women leaders. But we need them to have a vision for something.

Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women's issues.
