I believe that there is an urgent need to restructure the discussion of war to include the impact it has on women.

I find it amazing that the only group of people who are not fighting and not killing and not pillaging and not burning and not raping, and the group of people who are mostly — though not exclusively — who are keeping life going in the midst of war, are not included in the negotiating table.

War is nothing but a microcosm of peace... it shows you life in a more intense way and that's how I continue to live it... for good or bad reasons.

Leadership is not about having the charisma or speaking inspirational words, but about leading with example.

Changes don't happen in the world by playing it safe, taking risks is the way to change the world.

I believe that there is an urgent need to restructure the discussion of war to include the impact it has on women.

From joblessness to lack of education and professional skills to sexual and gender-based violence, women face a multi-faceted oppression.
