Quote

Women in most countries have not achieved much, because they can't be liberated under the patriarchal, capitalist, imperialist and military system that determines the way we live now, and which is governed by power, not justice, by false democracy, not real freedom.

We simply can no longer afford to deny the full potential of one half of the population. The world needs to tap into the talent and wisdom of women. Whether the issue is food security, economic recovery, health, or peace and security, the participation of women is needed now more than ever.

Investments in women are positively correlated to growth, prosperity, stability, democracy, health - and vital to our national security. We cannot write off the talent of half the world and expect to confront our challenges.

If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.

Women don't get the credit they deserve.

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.

If you look back on professions, when they became undervalued and paid less, women tended to do better in them.

I don't think women hold all the answers, but with their skills, their strengths, we can get to a better place.
