" It is virtually important that all structures of government, including the president himself should understand this fully: that freedomĀ cannot be achieved unless women have been emancipated from all forms of oppression.All of us must take this on board, that the objects of reconstruction and development program will not have been realized unless we see in visible and practical terms that the condition of women of our country has radically changed for better and that they have been empowered to intervene in all aspects of life as equals." Nelson Mandela
