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

I by no means intend to simplify the challenges women face in any culture. Women are marginalized in all cultures in my opinion, some in more extreme ways than others.

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.

I believe that a lot of progress has been achieved to address gender inequality: We have moved from a time where women in the US could not apply for credit card without their husband's signature to a time where women are the owners of their businesses.

Only 1 in 13 participants in peace negotiations since 1992 has been a woman.

I dont want to be someone in my sixties holding on to a group that I created when I was in my twenties.

Every woman must own her story; otherwise we are all part of the silence.
