Woman Rights Quotes

“Hay criminales que proclaman tan campantes ‘la maté porque era mía’, así no más, como si fuera cosa de sentido común y justo de toda justicia y derecho de propiedad privada, que hace al hombre dueño de la mujer. Pero ninguno, ninguno, ni el más macho de los supermachos tiene la valentía de confesar ‘la maté por miedo’, porque al fin y al cabo el miedo de la mujer a la violencia del hombre es el espejo del miedo del hombre a la mujer sin miedo.”
― Eduardo Hughes Galeano

“From her thighs, she gives you life
And how you treat she who gives you life
Shows how much you value the life given to you by the Creator.
And from seed to dust
There is ONE soul above all others --
That you must always show patience, respect, and trust
And this woman is your mother.
And when your soul departs your body
And your deeds are weighed against the feather
There is only one soul who can save yours
And this woman is your mother.
And when the heart of the universe
Asks her hair and mind,
Whether you were gentle and kind to her
Her heart will be forced to remain silent
And her hair will speak freely as a separate entity,
Very much like the seaweed in the sea --
It will reveal all that it has heard and seen.

This woman whose heart has seen yours,
First before anybody else in the world,
And whose womb had opened the door
For your eyes to experience light and more --
Is your very own MOTHER.
So, no matter whether your mother has been cruel,
Manipulative, abusive, mentally sick, or simply childish
How you treat her is the ultimate test.
If she misguides you, forgive her and show her the right way
With simple wisdom, gentleness, and kindness.
And always remember,
That the queen in the Creator's kingdom,
Who sits on the throne of all existence,
Is exactly the same as in yours.
And her name is,
THE DIVINE MOTHER.”

“Well, what do you think would happen to your face if you found out something you couldn't forget? Something terrible that changed the way you thought, and would show through your expressions forever?' Leodora leaned forward and spoke in a low, gentle tone. 'Your face would be spoilt. And then there would be no point to you any more.”
― Frances Hardinge, A Face Like Glass

“It is better to act right than seek right.”

“Man loads the world; woman takes the world's load!”

“The Daily Mail had facilitated an attack on a woman who had not only worked hard to earn an honest living, but had fought for her own educational rights and tried her best to ensure other girls would not have to face horrible abuse. This woman was abused via a campaign on national TV because of the two men she had married and supported. These were the same British tabloids that would cheer Malala.”

“- Ja, naprotiv, smatram da su ta dva pitanja nerazdvojno vezana - reče Pescov - to je onaj lažni krug. Žene su lišene prava zbog nedostaka obrazovanja, a nedostatak obrazovanja dolazi zbog odsustva prava. Ne treba zaboravljati da je porobljavanje žena tako veliko i staro, da mi i ne poimamo pučinu koja njih deli od nas - govorio je on.
- Vi rekoste: prava - reče Sergej Ivanoič, sačekavši da Pescov ućuti - prava da se zauzmu mesta i dužnosti porotnika, odbornika, predsednika, prava činovnika, članova parlamenta...
- Bez sumnje.
- No ako žene, kao redak izuzetak, mogu zauzeti ta mesta, čini mi se da ste vi nepravilno upotrebili izraz "prava". Tačnije bi bilo reći: obavaze. Svaki će se složiti s tim da onaj ko vrši kakvu bilo dužnost, porotnika, odbornika, telegrafiste, vrši obavezu. I prema tome tačnije bi bilo izraziti se: da žene traže obaveze, a to je sasvim zakonito. I može se samo podržavati njihova želja da pomognu opštem muškom radu.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“Women are prone to every molestation in society, right from human rights to animal rights”
― Sir P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar

“Many, if not most, music videos are less good at promoting the artist(s) or album than they are at portraying women as mindless creatures that are good only at doing things such as revealing their thighs and concealing their own hair with synthetic, animal, or someone else’s hair.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Women’s freedom is a definition of whole world empowerment. Their rights provide access to societal changes and contribute power to eliminate injustice decision-making.”
― Shaa Zainol

“I have spent my life advocating for religious freedom, a cause that has brought me face to face with the heart-wrenching stories of victims of forced conversions, the misuse of blasphemy laws, and survivors of mob violence. I felt their pain as if it was my own.”
