The tide of history is turning women from beasts of burden and sexual playthings into full-fledged human beings.
Nicholas D. Kristof
We all might ask ourselves why we tune in to these more trivial matters and tune out when it comes to Darfur
Nicholas D. Kristof
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
There are ten times as many sex slaves transported around the globe today as agrarian slaves were transported in the 1790s.

Guilt-tripping people does not work they tend to be turned off.

It really is quite remarkable that Darfur has become a household name. I am gratified that's the case.

I think that [Donald] Trump is frankly a bigot. He has a racist history.

Neither Western donor countries like the U.S. nor poor recipients like Cameroon care much about Africans who are poor, rural and female

Our nearly century-long experiment in banning marijuana has failed as abysmally as Prohibition did... In contrast, legalizing and taxing marijuana would bring in substantial sums that could be used to pay for schools, libraries or early childhood education.

Compassion isn't a sign of weakness, but a mark of civilization.

A little bit of attention can go a long way.

China was probably the worst place in the world to grow up female 100 years ago. There was foot binding, female infanticide, concubinage, and child marriage, and now it's one of the better places. So I really do feel that we're on the right side of history here.

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

Sometimes I wish eastern Congo could suffer an earthquake or a tsunami, so that it might finally get the attention it needs. The barbaric civil war being waged here is the most lethal conflict since World War II and has claimed at least 30 times as many lives as the Haiti earthquake.

One thing the humanitarian world doesn't do well is marketing. As a journalist, I get pitched every day by companies that have new products. Meanwhile, you have issues like clean water, literacy for girls, female empowerment. People flinch at the idea of marketing these because marketing sounds like something only companies do.
