I have come to understand that in order to effectively advance women's rights, we need to galvanize a global women's movement.

The injustice is that women continue to be the main target of violence both during wartime and peacetime and yet there is still a lack of a public outrage.

Sometimes you just have to jump off the cliff without knowing where you will land.

Everything can be taken from you in a second, but the human spirit is so strong. War can teach you so much about evil, and so much about good.

I grew up with injustice and could do nothing about it. But once in America, I had freedom of choice.

While women may look different, as some wear suits and others wear saris, or some cover their hair while others wear their hair loose, women need to stand together because they all face the central point of discrimination, although the extremity of which may be different from Kigali to Kabul.

I believe that leadership acts should be manifested by engaging in external work that can be observed and shared with everyone else.
