QUOTES

"I came to understand that 'what' we do in our lives is important, but that 'the way we do our work' is even more important in transforming our world."

the way you do your work is more important than what you do.

I'm a person who had a dream and was lucky enough to make that dream a reality – a dream of a worldwide network of women who would be both givers and receivers. A dream of an organization that would be open, curious, inclusive and trusting. A generous organization, that would work evenhandedly with women's groups around the world, with donors and volunteers, with staff and with others who joined our path."

I am greatly inspired by the care, idealism and intelligence of students as they learn about the health and human rights challenges that women face worldwide

Recognizing a problem and feeling that things can change is the beginning of change itself.
