I have come to understand that in order to effectively advance women's rights, we need to galvanize a global women's movement.

As women, we must speak out, speak up, say no to our inheritance of loss and yes to a future of women-led dialogue about women's rights and value.

Like life, peace begins with women. We are the first to forge lines of alliance and collaboration across conflict divides.

While women may look different, as some wear suits and others wear saris, or some cover their hair while others wear their hair loose, women need to stand together because they all face the central point of discrimination, although the extremity of which may be different from Kigali to Kabul.

The E.U. elections provide an opportunity for the people of the United Kingdom to knock some sense into the heads of their political leaders.

I have known Senator Rubio for a number of years, and he is an inspiring, courageous, and bold leader who embodies the American dream of freedom and equal opportunity for all.

What happened with Hurricane Katrina was the American electorate was forced to look at what lay behind the veneer of chest-beating. We all saw the consequences of having terrible government leadership.

The Democrats would be better off giving the public a chance to vote for someone young - they have young leaders in the party - as I think Republicans should do. I think that is where the future is.
