Enable every woman who can work to take her place on the labour front, under the principle of equal pay for equal work.

For a modern woman it is important to be supported and that there is equality in every aspect, and that it's not two halves that make a whole - it's two wholes that make a whole.

I think women want freedom. They want to be empowered. They want hope. They want love; they want all the things that I want, and I'm not afraid to say those things and act on them, and I think that's why they identify with me.

For each person I lost I found a new layer of grief to cover myself with, and each time I tried to bring something of their essence into my own being - be it unconditional love, kindness and piety.

We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead.

I am not a feminist, but I do believe in the strength of women.
