If half the society isn't engaged on any number of sectors, success and potential will be limited. In that sense, I do definitely believe there is a growing movement and moment for women's issues.

Everything is give and take. The solutions are in the middle not in the extremity of the situation.

Working with women survivors of war has taught me that we need to listen to women's perspectives on war in order to understand how to effectively rebuild a country, a community and a family.

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

Women are part of peace keeping troops in countries like Liberia.

I firmly believe today that the only way to stop violence against women is to speak out and refused to be silenced.

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