• Women must step into power • Women want more connected networks… resources should be provided to enable them to change societies • We have to wage justice on gender equality issues • We can work in collective ways to amass great results, but we must come together to achieve that • In gender we need to be more organized, create more women’s networks, networks that help other women, networks that create opportunities to help other women into power • Women in the informal sector’s labour hasn’t been counted in the past, but value can be put on such labour • We must be the first to identify that need opportunities to be leaders in their societies then we would see lasting change • Stop saying it’s impossible! • If you leave this world better, having positively affected at least one person then is a life well lived “Hope is being able to see the light despite the darkness”
