You cannot say you've achieved equality until EVERYONE is equal and has equal opportunities!

We must continue to unite in sisterhood to turn our tears into triumph. There is no time to rest until our world achieves wholeness and balance, where all men and women are considered equal and free.

Women are the ones that bear the greatest burden. We are also the ones who nurture societies.

Today, this young woman is me, a Nobel laureate. I'm now on a journey to fulfill the wish, in my tiny capacity, of little African girls - the wish of being educated. We set up a foundation. We're giving full four-year scholarships to girls from villages that we see with potential.

At 17, the first time I saw a dead body, I froze. By 31 it was a natural occurrence for me, and no group of people should live like that.

You cannot say you've achieved equality until EVERYONE is equal and has equal opportunities!

The world is upside down, it's going to take a lot of hands to turn it right side up.
