There is definitely a way in which women are raised to be less proactive, less business-oriented, and less willing to jump into creative no man's land. I think media has more of an influence on how we perceive gender identity than anything else.

I think the media's a little frightened of women.

As a human rights issue, the effort to end violence against women becomes a government's obligation, not just a good idea.

I could talk for ages about how women are amazing, but essentially we shouldn't be manipulated by the media's expectations of our bodies. I'd recommend every woman to read 'Women Who Run with the Wolves' - it's about being in touch with your more wild, free and powerful side.

I think if women are visible in the media, truly visible, in an empowered role, it empowers us to be more visible in any area of our lives.

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

Success on the front of women's rights will look like a world not only with obvious advances - where no girl is denied access to education, for instance - but also one with more subtle changes in how we regard gender and gender stereotypes.

I'm such a huge advocate for strong, intelligent representation of women in the media.

Sexual harassment law is very important. But I think it would be a mistake if the sexual harassment law movement is the only way in which feminism is known in the media.

I believe that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century.
