The state of the world today demands that women become less modest and dream/plan/act/risk on a larger scale.

People learn to lead because they care about something.

We have to start looking at the world through women's eyes' how are human rights, peace and development defined from the perspective of the lives of women? It's also important to look at the world from the perspective of the lives of diverse women, because there is not single women's view, any more than there is a single men's view.

There is no issue that is not a women's issue.

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.

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

As a human rights issue, the effort to end violence against women becomes a government's obligation, not just a good idea.
