"Gender equality is first and foremost a question of ensuring the same human, economic and social rights for half of the world's population. Something that should be self evident. Still every year, one billion women are subject to sexual or physical violence. Still women are refused equal access to health services, including sexual and reproductive health and rights. Still every day, 800 women die from preventable complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. Still legal restrictions exist so that women are prevented to own, inherit and acquire property in many countries. Still many girls and women are refused access to schools and education. For many women the idea that a government would have more female than male ministers - like in Sweden - seems like utopia. Many of these women are not even allowed to vote"

“In my country, those terrorists violate, on daily basis, human rights, citizens' rights in living and livelihood and the citizens' religious beliefs and political affiliations. Any Syrian citizen who does not belong to this obscurantist and takfiri ideology is doomed to be killed, slaughtered, or the women of his family are taken as captives on the basis of perverted concepts of religion that have nothing to do with Islam.”
