Jostein GaarderA state that does not educate and train women is like a man who only trains his right arm.
About This Quote
The power of education and training is something that is often overlooked by leaders around the world. Even in countries with great economic success, women are not given the same opportunities that men receive. When women are denied the opportunity to learn and train, they cannot play their full roles in supporting their families and communities.
