Closing points
Gender equality is more than a goal in
itself. It is a precondition for meeting
the challenge of reducing poverty,
promoting sustainable development and
building good governance. (Kofi Annan )
Real education should educate us out
of self into something far finer--into a
selflessness which links us with all
humanity.
