When it comes to women’s rights issues,
the needs, concerns, priorities, all of the
things that affect women, I don’t see it
here or there.
Rape and abuse is present in America just
as it is in Africa, homelessness is present
in Africa just as it is in here, you have
issue of maternal mortality in Africa just
as it is in here.
The scales may be different but it is the
same, and if you say women’s issues and
women’s rights issues are not issues, that
we should say, let’s take it in— if one
woman is hurt, all women are hurt, there is
no here and there about it.
