We need women leaders. But we need them to have a vision for something.

We need to empower women. Give women a voice in the decision-making process. Give women a political voice where they can champion, for their own welfare. And, of course, for us. United Nations - organizations, agencies - we need to do our part.

If more women are in leadership roles, we'll stop assuming they shouldn't be.

A society that respects women needs to elect leaders who care more about women's lives than they do about their or their company's bottom line.

The failure of women to have reached positions of leadership has been due in large part to social and professional discrimination. In the past, few women have tried, and even fewer have succeeded.

People don't always want to have females as leaders.

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

I think we need the feminine qualities of leadership, which include attention to aesthetics and the environment, nurturing, affection, intuition and the qualities that make people feel safe and cared for.

Women need to support women.

The most significant barrier to female leadership is the actual lack of females in leadership. The best advice I can give to women is to go out and start something, ideally their own businesses. If you can't see a path for leadership within your own company, go blaze a trail of your own.
