My message to women is: Women: We can do it. We are capable of doing almost anything, but we must learn we cannot do it all at once, we need to prioritize.

Educational equality doesn't guarantee equality on the labor market. Even the most developed countries are not gender-equal. There are still glass ceilings and 'leaky pipelines' that prevent women from getting ahead in the workplace.

In any area of the UN we ... have to agree on certain language that can represent the same spirit, but that can be accepted by everyone.

There is no city or country in the world where women and girls live free of the fear of violence. No leader can claim: this is not happening in my backyard.

As more and more women, men and young people raise their voices and become active in local government, and more local leaders take action for the safety of women and girls, change happens.

In some places women have all the rights they deserve and in others there are big restrictions - in some countries they even mutilate women.

We have to make sure that women's issues are an essential element on the agendas of all heads of state, all governments.
