The voice of women has a special role and a special soul force in the struggle for a nonviolent world.

I swear to God, it's an incredible force for good if you can remember that nonviolence is the weapon of the strong.

I don't think I'm yet peaceful because I have to struggle every day within myself when I see the suffering of the people of the world, the women and the children. And fury sets in. But I have to transform that and take it out and do something positive with it - but I have to do that sometimes minute to minute.

The voice of women, the voice of those most closely involved in bringing forth new life, has not always been listened to when it pleaded and implored against the waste of life in war after war.

I respect women that have a voice and use it for a proper reason.

When one woman doesn't speak, other women get hurt.
