"Both genders bear the brunt of conflict when men are out fighting the women are taking care of the family. When the men are out fighting and they get injured, its the women who will take care of them. When the men go fight and die in war, the women are left with the burden of the family. Women have a role in the peace process."

    • “You see, when a girl is beaded by a relative, he is allowed to have sex with her, but if the girl conceives, which happens most of the time as no form of contraception is used, the baby is unwanted and is seen as a curse. It brings shame to the family.”
    • “When you educate a man, you educate an individual. When you educate a woman, you educate a nation.”
