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

We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls' rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past.

My pledge to you is that the SNP will put women and gender equality right at the heart of the Westminster agenda.

I'm always trying to push for women's rights.

I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.

Gender equality and women's empowerment have been a top priority for me from day one as Secretary-General. And I am committed to making sure that the U.N. leads by example.

I want to organize so that women see ourselves as people who are entitled to power, entitled to leadership.

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

We need to change attitudes. We can only change attitudes by working together. Government will do its bit, but I want you all to do your bit, too. So speak out, stand up against violence against women and girls, and that's the way we can eradicate it.

In inquiring concerning the benefits of the plan proposed, I shall proceed upon the supposition that female seminaries will be patronized throughout our country.
