No change can come if those who are impacted the most by discrimination are not willing to stand up for themselves.

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

Long-term trauma for women who have survived armed conflict is a haunting reminder that health issues and depression can follow decades after the end of war, but women who hope for healing can and do move forward.

Being a leader for me is about having the courage to speak the truth, and live the truth, despite attempts to silence our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.

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

Where has change ever been clean and nice? It has always been messy and painful.

It is the diversity of views that stems from different experiences and different backgrounds that lead to healthy decision-making and not the unified experiences and unified views.
