"There is the side that fights.
There is a side that keeps schools, factories, and hospitals, open."
"We are missing the stories of the women who are literally keeping life going in the midst of war."
"There is the side that is led by men. There is the side that is lead by women...We must understand war and peace from both sides."
"We have to understand that we cannot actually have negotiations of ending of wars or peace, without fully including the women at the negotiation table."
"I find it amazing that the only group of people who are not fighting, and not killing, and not pillaging, and not burning, and not raping, and the group of people who are mostly (though not exclusively) who are keeping life going in the midst of war, are not included at the negotiating table."
"There is no way that we can talk about stability until we start investing in women and girls."
Zainab Salbi is astonishing.
