Paul Polman Quotes

I believe men and women should be afforded the same opportunities.

A feminist is a person who answers 'yes' to the question 'Are women human?' Feminism is not about whether women are better than, worse than or identical with men...It's about justice, fairness, and access to the broad range of human experience.

Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction.

I want my books to force readers to recognise the fact that a woman is a human being just like them.

I mean, I absolutely call myself a feminist. And by that, I mean a woman who believes that your opportunities should not be constrained by your gender, that women should be entitled to the same opportunities as men.

Like probably a lot of people, I came away from watching films like 'Miss Representation' and 'Half the Sky' with the realization that the battle for women's rights is not over, especially not globally, and that the moral imperative of our century is to achieve full rights for everyone regardless of gender.

I'm a feminist in the true sense of the word. It's about equality.

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

I consider myself a feminist because I believe women should have equal rights. Of course. It's just that the term 'feminism' conjures up other things for people.

Equal Rights

Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less.

Asserting the equality of all men before the law, we hold that it is the duty of the government, in its dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all citizens, of whatever nativity, race or persuasion—religious or political.

The Equal Rights Amendment is a necessity of life…

I am glad that we are demonstrating in the United States to-day that the boy should have no more advantage than the girl.

I know nothing of man’s rights, or woman’s rights; human rights are all that I recognize.

Women's rights are human rights.

A feminist is a person who believes in the power of women just as much as they believe in the power of anyone else. It's equality, it's fairness, and I think it's a great thing to be a part of.

There are people out there every day really fighting the fight for equal rights, equal pay, equal treatment. They're inspiring.

My commitment to gender equality is rooted in the quintessentially American principle of equal justice under law.

Gender equality is not only an issue for women and girls.

I don't care if you're Christian, you're Muslim, you're gay, you're straight - I am here to fight for your equality. Because I believe that we are all born equal, but we are not treated equally, and that is why we must fight.

I believe that women should be treated just like men.

It's only that we live in a patriarchal society, and therefore, the word 'feminism' has to be used as a counter to patriarchy. But feminism is about being equal. The word used should be 'equalist,' as it is about all humans being equal and respecting each other for that.

Feminism is not about girl power. It is about equal power.

I am not a feminist, I am a humanist.
