Education Makes Us The Human Beings We Are. It Has Major Impacts On Economic Development, On Social Equity, Gender Equity. In All Kinds Of Ways, Our Lives Are Transformed By Education And Security.

Sometimes The Lack Of Substantive Freedoms Relates Directly To Economic Poverty, Which Robs People Of The Freedom To Satisfy Hunger; Or To Achieve Sufficient Nutrition, Or To Obtain Remedies For Treatable Illnesses Or The Opportunity To Be Adequatley Clothed Or Sheltered, Or To Enjoy Clean Water Or Sanitary Facilities.

It Seems To Me To Be Kind Of Inescapable That One Has To Be Interested In The Issue Of Gender And Gender Equality. I Don’t Really Expect Any Credit For Going In That Direction. It’s The Only Natural Direction To Go In. Why Is It That Some People Don’t See That As So Patently Obvious As It Should Be?
