Government ought to make it easy for people to do the right thing.

The first piece of advice I would have from my experience is that governments need to be vocal about human rights.

Governments should not be able to bulldoze a person's home or business to benefit other individuals.

All governments should be pressured to correct their abuses of human rights.

No one in government should ever think that the citizens they work for can't or won't scrutinize their actions.

Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

In any human-rights campaign, everybody must do what they can.

I would much rather see responsibilities exercised by individuals than have them imposed by the government.

I think the government has a role in protecting the fundamental rights of its citizens.

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