Inspirational Quotes

Batch # 14

1. At the end of the day, both

men and women who

become CEOs have showed

tenacity and hard work to

succeed in their careers. It

takes not just skills but also

extreme dedication and

commitment. And regardless

of gender, CEOs are

measured by the same

criteria - the growth and

success of the business.

2. One of the factors a

country's economy depends

on is human capital. If you

don't provide women with

adequate access to

healthcare, education and

employment, you lose at

least half of your potential.

So, gender equality and

women's empowerment

bring huge economic

benefits.

3. I'm not one that believes

that affirmative action

should be based on one's

skin color or one's gender, I

think it should be done

based on one's need,

because I think if you are

from a poor white

community, I think that

poor white kid needs a

scholarship just as badly as

a poor black kid.

4. Capitalism knows only one

color: that color is green; all

else is necessarily

subservient to it, hence,

race, gender and ethnicity

cannot be considered within

it.

5. Calling gender violence a

women's issue is part of the

problem. It gives a lot of

men an excuse not to pay

attention.

6. Society as a whole benefits

immeasurably from a

climate in which all persons,

regardless of race or

gender, may have the

opportunity to earn respect,

responsibility, advancement

and remuneration based on

ability.

7. But the issue of sexual

harassment is not the end

of it. There are other issues

- political issues, gender

issues - that people need to

be educated about.

8. We act as if that being of a

man or that being of a

woman is actually an

internal reality or something

that is simply true about us,

a fact about us, but actually

it's a phenomenon that is

being produced all the time

and reproduced all the time,

so to say gender is

performative is to say that

nobody really is a gender

from the start.

9. If someone believes they are

limited by their gender, race

or background, they will

become more limited.

10. Countries with higher levels

of gender equality have

higher economic growth.

Companies with more

women on their boards have

higher returns. Peace

agreements that include

women are more successful.

Parliaments with more

women take up a wider

range of issues - including

health, education, anti-

discrimination, and child

support.
