"Educate a woman and you educate her family. Educate a girl and you change the future."
"We are stronger when we listen,and smarter when we share."
"At the end of the day, the position is just a position, a title is just a title, and those things come and go. It's really your essence and your values that are important."
"A woman caring for her children; a woman striving to excel in the private sector; a woman partnering with her neighbors to make their street safer; a woman running for office to improve her country - they all have something to offer, and the more our societies empower women, the more we receive in return."
"If one girl with courage is a revolution, imagine what feats we can achieve together."
