Women feel empowered when they can do the things that are supposed to be only for men, you know? It breaks boundaries, it's liberating, and it's empowering when you feel like, 'Well, I can do that, too.'

That's all I could ever hope for, to have a positive effect on women. 'Cause women are powerful, powerful beings. But they're also the most doubtful beings. They'll never know - we'll never know - how powerful we are.

When the women begin to take an active part in the struggle, no power on earth can stop us from achieving freedom in our lifetime.

Freedom cannot be achieved unless the women have been emancipated from all forms of oppression.

To awaken the people, it is the women who must first be awakened. Once she is on the move, the family moves, the village moves, the nation moves.

Women hold up half the sky.
