I have come to understand that in order to effectively advance women's rights, we need to galvanize a global women's movement.

Women have always been at the forefront of progressive movements. Women can be depended on when you need bodies in the streets for women's rights and human rights.

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.

So many women don't have voices in their governments.

I think the Women's movement has had a major impact on everybody's lives in our nation and in the world as a whole.

If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it.

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'm always trying to push for women's rights.

The women's movement is just a symptom of basic changes in the economy that are favoring women.

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.
