As a development practitioner overseeing the gender portfolio at the World Bank, I can tell you that International Women's Day on March 8th should always serve as a reminder of this vitally important issue. But there are another 364 days of the year where we have to take action -- both at work and at home, both men and women, fathers and mothers. This is not the time to be complacent; this is a time for us all to be concerned. Only if we can lead by example and 'engender' the attitudes of our children, will boys and girls become equal partners in the future. " -Otaviano Canuto {Huffington Post}
Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to
succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it
takes." They will say, "Women don't have what it takes."
