Our experience shows - and survey after survey reveals - institutions are run better, communities are healthier when women are involved in solving the challenges of our society. Equal representation does not just lead to good democracy: it is democracy.

For many women, becoming a widow does not just mean the heartache of losing a husband, but often losing everything else as well.

The thing I want to see before I die is women achieving full equality in the world. I'm very passionate about injustice against women and there's too much of it in the world. In so many parts of the world, women are not regarded as worthy or equal to men. In parts of the world, women are bought and sold.

In my community, women are as important as males, and they are playing an equal role in the society.

Women are the real architects of society.

Women are not totally nauseous after seeing me.
