Genuine equality between the sexes can only be realized in the process of the socialist transformation of society as a whole.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.
Despite great advances in women's rights, statistics show that when it comes to the balance of power between the sexes, equality is far from being a global reality.
Any serious shift towards more sustainable societies has to include gender equality.
Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance.
Equality and development will not be achieved however if peace is not understood from women's' point of view.
Nothing changes the gender equation more significantly than women's economic freedom.
Equality for women is progress for all.
It would be futile to attempt to fit women into a masculine pattern of attitudes, skills and abilities and disastrous to force them to suppress their specifically female characteristics and abilities by keeping up the pretense that there are no differences between the sexes.
The only way to ensure equality for women is to clearly declare it in our Constitution.
Gender equality will only be reached if we are able to empower women.
