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.

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.

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

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

Living in war is a co- existence with death.

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

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.
