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.

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

America is like an unfaithful love who promises us more than we got.

The beginning point at both conferences must be that everything is a woman's issue. That means racism in a woman's issue, just as is anti-Semitism, Palestinian homelessness, rural development, ecology, the persecution of lesbians, and the exploitative practices of global corporations.
