“Despite
the threat of global terror hanging over all
of us, there is only one path: to pursue the
Millennium Development Goals with fresh resolve
–confronting violence, bigotry and hatred with
the same determination that we attack the causes
from which they spring – conflict, ignorance,
poverty and disease. The world we seek, where
every child can grow to adulthood in health,
peace and dignity – in short, aworld fit for
children – has remained a dream for more years
than we can count. But we at UNICEF are convinced
that working together with committed partners,
and with an appropriate plan of action and a
commitment to resources, we can make that dream
a reality for each and every child on earth.”

All
married couples should learn the art of battle as they

within the international community.

seen miracles in post-war situations, in famines,
in places of horrendous brutal subjugation and
oppression, when women step forward and play
their rightful role in co-equal partnership
with men. It's not the answer all by itself,
but it is a powerful and incredibly effective
step to give women their rightful role and voice
and the resources to back it up."
-- Lynne Twist
