Kofi Annan
  • Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.

  • Business, labor and civil society organizations have skills and resources that are vital in helping to build a more robust global community.

  • There is no development strategy more beneficial to society as a whole - women and men alike - than the one which involves women as central players.

  • More countries have understood that women's equality is a prerequisite for development.
