More quotes by Melinda Gates
Abortion has become a very politicised issue that I think countries have to work out themselves. In a lot of countries, people can't even yet agree on what their laws should be.
Melinda Gates
Microsoft certainly makes products for the Macintosh.
Melinda Gates
When we invest in women and girls, we are investing in the people who invest in everyone else.
Melinda Gates
Bill and I both firmly believe that even the most difficult global health problems can be solved.
Melinda Gates
I'm constantly saying to myself, 'I'm lucky I was born in the United States.
Melinda Gates
Even in decision-making, we work in self-help groups. That is women coming together in small groups of 10 to sometimes 15 women, where they start to get education about their rights, about clean water and sanitation, about how to have a healthy birth. You can bring in all kinds of education to them that way.
Melinda Gates
Vaccines are a miracle cure. Eight out of 10 children are getting vaccines.
Melinda Gates
With economic opportunity, sometimes it's making sure that if they're not in a place where they can have good jobs, that when they have economic opportunity, they have digital tools to use.
Melinda Gates
You are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
Melinda Gates
If you invest in a girl or a woman, you are investing in everybody else.
Melinda Gates
[Bill Gates] wanted me to stay working at Microsoft, but I didn't think he could be CEO and we could have the family life that we both had growing up, which is what we envisioned. I knew I would go back to work at some point later to some profession. I just didn't know what.
Melinda Gates
Like in Africa, if somebody doesn't have fuel, they're still going and collecting firewood. If they get an oven, that's a huge difference. You can do things to reduce the inequities by making sure that they can get clean energy, safe energy. To make sure they're not having to collect water every day. That's huge for women in the developing world.
Melinda Gates
My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education.
Melinda Gates
Take time to learn about the lives of women around the world-and try to play a small part in their fight to create the future they deserve.
Melinda Gates
Despite the debunking, you have a small group in the last five years that hasn't wanted to vaccinate their children, for instance, for measles. Then, all of sudden, we got an outbreak of measles and kids were starting to die from measles.
Melinda Gates
Make sure you continue to trust what you know now about yourself and stay true to what you believe in
Melinda Gates
Having children made us look differently at all these things that we take for granted, like taking your child to get a vaccine against measles or polio.
Melinda Gates
The biggest pieces of work that we do are vaccines, because those save lives, and also family planning. Because if a woman can space the births of her children, it changes everything for her health and her child's health.
Melinda Gates
Housework comes first, so girls often fall behind in school. Global statistics show that it's increasingly girls, not boys, who don't know how to read.
Melinda Gates
If you can't go to secondary school, the boys get to go and the girls don't, you're locked into a cycle of poverty, because you don't have a chance.
