Cherie Blair

I strongly support not just citizenship classes but also teaching children how the law works and the many ways it affects their lives.

I've learned when to speak out. You do have to learn when to bide your time and when to speak out, and I don't always get it right.

Indeed, in a world of the BlackBerry, remote access and Wi-Fi hotspots on every street corner, it feels particularly outdated that much of our working culture is still dominated by the need to be at our desk for long hours of the day.

My foundation is absolutely about the women we work with, and they are contributing every day to their families, to their communities, and to the economy of their countries. All we are doing is enabling them to be the best that they can be.
