"The emancipation of women, the achievement of
full equality between the sexes, is one of the most important, though
less acknowledged prerequisites of peace. The denial of such equality
perpetrates an injustice against one half of the world’s population and
promotes in men harmful attitudes and habits that are carried from the
family to the workplace, to political life, and ultimately to
international relations. There are no grounds, moral, practical, or
biological, upon which such denial can be justified. Only as women are
welcomed into full partnership in all fields of human endeavour will the
moral and psychological climate be created in which international peace
can emerge."
