Quotations
We have excerpted highlights from each narrator’s interview. Please click through to read their insightful and inspiring words.
For instance, we introduced, and when I mean "we," I mean this group of women’s reproductive health and rights activists, and in coalition-building, and receiving a support from the International Women’s Health Coalition, because you need to have support to coalition building also. We were able to introduce, for instance, the word "gender" in Cairo. This word was never before on a UN document. We introduced this concept of reproductive health. We introduced the concept of sexual health and of reproductive rights, because Cairo talks about reproductive rights.
