THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SOCIETY

The philosophy of Give to Gain is not limited to women alone. Society also hasresponsibilities. When families give daughters confidence instead of limitations,society gains leadership. When institutionsgive women equal opportunities, organizationsgain competence and creativity.When communities give respect towomen’s voices, nations gain balanceddecision making.

Empowerment thereforeshould not be seen as competitionbetween men and women. It is betterunderstood as a partnership thatstrengthens society as a whole.
