“We have to start looking at the world through women’s eyes’ how are human rights, peace and development defined from the perspective of the lives of women? It’s also important to look at the world from the perspective of the lives of diverse women, because there is not single women’s view, any more than there is a single men’s view.”

Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women's issues.

The state of the world today demands that women become less modest and dream/plan/act/risk on a larger scale.

Women have a lot to say about how to advance women's rights, and governments need to learn from that, listen to the movement and respond.”

Even though they make up half the population, women and girls have endured discrimination in most societies for thousands of years. In the past, women were treated as property of their husbands or fathers - they couldn't own land, they couldn't vEvote or go to school, and were subject to beatings and abuse and could do nothing about it. Over the last hundred years, much progress has been made to gain equal rights for women around the world, but many still live without the rights to which all people are entitled.

My idea of feminism is self-determination, and it's very open-ended: every woman has the right to become herself, and do whatever she needs to do.

I have something to prove, as long as I know there's something that needs improvement, and you know that everytime I move, I make a woman's movement.

“No nation can ever be worthy of its existence that cannot take its women along with the men. No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Women are the nourishing power of the Universe. Whoever has deep respect for women of the world, will remain free from diseases.
