In my community, women are as important as males, and they are playing an equal role in the society.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That's not to say that women's priorities are better than men's. Rather, when women are empowered, when they can speak from the experience of their own lives, they often address different, previously neglected issues. And families and whole communities benefit.
It's very important to balance things; it's imperative to do something for the society, and women in particular, and help women who aren't in position to help themselves.
There is a sense that women are more anchored than men in our society.
I have long ties to the women's community.
It is important that we women use our position as a platform to influence for good.
As societies continue to loosen their standards regarding what is appropriate female and male behavior, I think we are going to realize we have not only underestimated women, but also men.
I regard other women as my community, not my competition.
Women hold up more than half the sky and represent much of the world's unrealized potential. They are the educators. They raise the children. They hold families together and increasingly drive economies. They are natural leaders. We need their full engagement... in government, business and civil society.
Achieving gender equality requires the engagement of women and men, girls and boys. It is everyone's responsibility.
Women, nowhere in the world, have the kind of important position in society in the amount that they ought to have.
