I think there are a lot of people who have trouble coming to terms with that because they see marriage as traditionally between a man and a woman.

The fight against terrorism is also a fight for the rights and dignity of women.

Women have a better chance to secure freedom and protect themselves from violence, from abuse, from injustice, if they are well-educated and know their rights.

For countries to succeed, for democracies to succeed, the women and men in those countries need to be free. Women and men need to know their rights.

We know how unhealthy it is. I know what happens, though - young women start smoking because they don't think they're really going to keep smoking.
