Women's enlightenment

And one day she discovered that she was fierce, an d strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears.

I stress the importance of women assuming positions of power and influence, not only because their points of view and talents are needed, but also as a matter of their human rights. Moreover, increased involvement of women in decision making processes with respect to social values, development directions and allocation of resources enables women as well as men to influence societal agendas and to help set priorities. Efforts to achieve gender equality are thus more likely to be brought into the mainstream of decision-making and to be pursued from the center rather than the margins.
I believe that healthy, educated and empowered women and girls are agents of change.
When women and girls are supported, they gain opportunities to speak up for their rights, and also to advocate for their communities. They are also able to rise in social standing, and they can feed this into future generations.
This means women’s organisations, women’s empowerment policies and women’s charities can gain momentum and contribute to a stronger world.
