We women have to stick together.

Women need to support women.

As a woman standing up here, we have to fight for the rights of women.

There's not one type of stand-up, just like there's not one type of woman.

Women can build stability. We can make peace.

It's mainly a few elite women who benefit greatly from standing with the forces that keep women down.

I want to encourage young women to stand up for each other and speak up when they see others in a tough situation.

Women hold up more than half the sky and represent much of the world's unrealized potential. They are the educators. They raise the children. They hold families together and increasingly drive economies. They are natural leaders. We need their full engagement... in government, business and civil society.

Lesbians are likely to be drawn to stand-up, if only because it's cheaper to produce and therefore more accessible for women. But the very form of stand-up is masculine.

Women are responsible for creating their own roles.
