"The feminist movement — the glorious perception that women can be valued for our brains and not just for our faces — makes it possible for a woman to become 50 and not to grieve."

A Collective Struggle

"This International Women's Day, we are highlighting the importance of achieving equality for women and girls not simply because it is a matter of fairness and fundamental human rights, but because the progress in so many other areas depends on it... Countries with more gender equality have better economic growth. Companies with more women leaders perform better. Peace agreements that include women are more durable. Parliaments with more women enact more legislation on key social issues such as health, education, anti-discrimination and child support. The evidence is clear: equality for women means progress for all." -Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General
