“Americans of faith should try as hard to save the lives of African women as the lives of unborn fetuses.”
Nicholas D. Kristof, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide

Nicholas D. Kristof
“A man goes out on the beach and sees that it is covered with starfish that have washed up in the tide. A little boy is walking along, picking them up and throwing them back into the water. “What are you doing, son?” the man asks. “You see how many starfish there are? You’ll never make a difference.” The boy paused thoughtfully, and picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean. “It sure made a difference to that one,” he said.”
Nicholas D. Kristof, Half the Sky

Nicholas D. Kristof, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide

“People get away with enslaving village girls for the same reason that people got away with enslaving blacks two hundred years ago: The victims are perceived as discounted humans.”
Nicholas D. Kristof, Half the Sky
