3 quotes from Half the Sky

  • "Women and girls are the most oppressed group of people on the planet. They are denied education, health care, and the right to live free from violence. When you empower women, it benefits everyone in society."
  • "The world can be divided into those who say that the world is divided into oppressors and oppressed and those who are willing to act to change that."
  • "Investing in women is not only a moral obligation but also a smart investment. When women succeed, societies thrive, economies grow, and entire communities benefit."
