Quotations
“To me, peace is equality and justice. If there is no equality and justice, there will not be peace. When I say equality, it’s across everything—it’s across women and men, it’s ethnic and religious differences, it’s across nationality—if we are able to live equally in our society with fairness and justice, this is what we call a peaceful society.” (interview, Nov. 17, 2014, Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security; photo awiu)
