As women, we know that we must always find ways to change the process because the present institutions want to hold on to power and keep the status quo.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are bringing women into politics to change the nature of politics, to change the vision, to change the institutions. Women are not wedded to the policies of the past. We didn't craft them. They didn't let us.
If nothing else, I want women to understand that they are powerful. If you look back at history, in almost every big moment, in every leap forward, you find ordinary women at the core. We have more ability to make changes in the world than we can imagine if we have the courage to try.
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.
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.
I really want women to know their power, to value their experience. To understand that nothing has been more wholesome in the political process than the increased involvement of women.
I have come to understand that in order to effectively advance women's rights, we need to galvanize a global women's movement.
In the adjustment of the new order of things, we women demand an equal voice; we shall accept nothing less.
There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.
We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.
The women's movement is just a symptom of basic changes in the economy that are favoring women.
