Johanna Sigurðardottir quotes
-
“Gender equality and empowerment of women is key to the success of the Millennium Development Goals. Not only as a specific target, but for the goals in general. Women bear a heavier burden of the world's poverty than men, because of the discrimination they face in education, health care, employment and control of assets.”
-- Johanna Sigurðardottir -
“The Nordic countries are leading the way on women's equality, recognizing women as equal citizens rather than commodities for sale.”
-- Johanna Sigurðardottir
