I think I've really learned how important it is to empower women.

The education of women is the best way to save the environment.

Elevating the status of women is our best path to peace, justice, and prosperity on a global scale.

The best thing we can do to save the planet is set a good example for our kids at home.

I hope that through Fast Forward, we can encourage women everywhere to know their power wherever they find themselves; to find their purpose; and to connect with others in order to create a better world - especially for women and girls.

Something must be done to save humanity! A better world is possible!

For the sake of our health, our children and grandchildren and even our economic well-being, we must make protecting the planet our top priority.

Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women's empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.

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.

Women of this planet need some essential resources: wells, seeds and roads. That is primarily all we have ever needed. Added to that, women need righteous and strong men who will help us to use our most cherished gifts: the ability to multitask and problem solve.
