Quotes

“Ethnicity should enrich us; it should make us a unique people in our diversity and not be used to divide us.”
“To girls and women everywhere, I issue a simple invitation. My sisters, my daughters, my friends; find your voice.”
“It’s a big challenge in whatever country we’re in, because the stereotyping, the obstacles that women face are global… And so the action must be global, it must be collective. And it must be a networking across borders, because our rights are the same, our goals are common.”
“Leadership is never given on a silver platter, one has to earn it.”
“Even though women are the victims, they are the ones who stand up. They are the ones who are able to promote peace and reconciliation”
“Once the glass ceiling has been broken, it can never be put back together, however one would try to do that.”
