We are affirming human rights for all women and girls, acknowledging the full range of diversity that exists, and detailing actions to prevent violence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All women and girls have the fundamental right to live free of violence. This right is enshrined in international human rights and humanitarian law. And it lies at the heart of my UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign.
As a woman standing up here, we have to fight for the rights of women.
We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls' rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past.
Equality for women is progress for all.
Whether it's repro rights, violence against women, or just plain old vanilla sexism, most issues affecting women have one thing in common - they exist to keep women 'in their place.' To make sure that we're acting 'appropriately,' whatever that means.
Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.
Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights.
The extension of women's rights is the basic principle of all social progress.
I believe all men, all women, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic background, you deserve the same rights.
I have come to understand that in order to effectively advance women's rights, we need to galvanize a global women's movement.
