The only way we really create change is to enter any situation with the humility to listen and to recognize the world as it is, and then the audacity to dream what it could be.

People need to believe that they can participate fully in the decisions that affect their lives and have a stake in the societies in which they live

Girls and women are most victimised in societies where boys and men are disempowered.

Honour what is most beautiful about the past and build it into the promise of the future.

I have also been touched by the dark side of power and leadership.

After all this atrocity, this is how human beings really pray.

It's about all of us, and the kind of world that we, together, want to live in and share.
