More quotes by Nicholas D. Kristof
It really is quite remarkable that Darfur has become a household name. I am gratified that's the case.
Nicholas D. Kristof
The photos were taken by African Union soldiers. People in Congress saw them. I thought if people could see them, there would be public outcry. No one would be able to say, We just didn't know what was going on there.

While Americans have heard of Darfur and think we should be doing more there, they aren't actually angry at the president about inaction

In the nineteenth century, the central moral challenge was slavery. In the twentieth century, it was the battle against totalitarianism. We believe that in this century the paramount moral challenge will be the struggle for gender equality around the world.

The equivalent of five jumbo jets' worth of women die in labor each day, but the issue is almost never covered.

Just a little help, a small security force, a bit of food, can save lives

...Environmental groups are too often alarmists. They have an awful track record, so they've lost credibility with the public.

Abortion politics have distracted all sides from what is really essential: a major aid campaign to improve midwifery, prenatal care and emergency obstetric services in poor countries.
Nicholas D. Kristof
A few countries like Sri Lanka and Honduras have led the way in slashing maternal mortality.

The greatest threat to extremism isn't drones firing missiles, but girls reading books.

If the U.S. wants to help people in tsunami-hit countries like Sri Lanka and Indonesia - not to mention other poor countries in Africa - there's one step that would cost us nothing and would save hundreds of thousands of lives. It would be to allow DDT in malaria-ravaged countries.
Nicholas D. Kristof
Americans of faith should try as hard to save the lives of African women as the lives of unborn fetuses.
Nicholas D. Kristof
Photographs are still being taken but aren't being shown. There's one of a skeleton bound at the wrists with pants still around its ankles if it was a woman, she was likely raped if it was a man, he was possibly castrated.
Nicholas D. Kristof
One of the things that really got to me was talking to parents who had been burned out of their villages, had family members killed, and then when men showed up at the wells to get water, they were shot
Nicholas D. Kristof
The conflict in Darfur could escalate to where we're seeing 100,000 victims per month
