" Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places--close to home--so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, and equal dignity, without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere." Eleanor Roosevelt, Chair, United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

" Si l'égalité des sexes était reconnue, ce serait une fameuse brèche dans la bêtise humaine." Louise Michel (France : 1830-1905)
