“Tenacity is the mother of progress.”
Valerie M. Hudson, Sex and World Peace

“The United States has made empowering women and girls a cornerstone of our foreign policy because women’s equality is not just a moral issue, it’s not just a humanitarian issue, it is not just a fairness issue. It is a security issue, it is a prosperity issue, and it is a peace issue. . . . [I]t’s in the vital interests of the United States of America.”
Valerie M. Hudson, Sex and World Peace

“Polygamy is exploitive of women, and is associated with high rates of spousal abuse. Rivalry is common between multiple wives, as each competes for affection and resources for herself and her children. The practice of polygamy is clearly contrary to the principle of gender equality that is fundamental to Canadian society. Polygamy also has significant negative effects on children, in large part because fathers are often distant figures. Children of polygamous unions are more likely to be abused, and—compared to children from monogamous families—they tend to have more emotional difficulties and lower educational achievement.”
Valerie M. Hudson, Sex and World Peace
