Zainab Salbi
Believe in your passions and act on them.

I don't have a child, so Women for Women is like my child. But I always said I would step down after 20 years. I didn't want to be a 60-year-old woman holding on to something I created when I was 23.

I find it amazing that the only group of people who are not fighting and not killing and not pillaging and not burning and not raping, and the group of people who are mostly — though not exclusively — who are keeping life going in the midst of war, are not included in the negotiating table.
Zainab Salbi

Zainab Salbi
I have come to understand that in order to effectively advance women's rights, we need to galvanize a global women's movement.
Zainab Salbi
If half the society isn't engaged on any number of sectors, success and potential will be limited. In that sense, I do definitely believe there is a growing movement and moment for women's issues.
Zainab Salbi
The single thing all women need in the world is inspiration, and inspiration comes from storytelling.
Zainab Salbi
Where has change ever been clean and nice? It has always been messy and painful.
Zainab Salbi
Leadership is about encouraging women to break their silence and tell their stories to the world.
Zainab Salbi
Working with women survivors of war has taught me that we need to listen to women's perspectives on war in order to understand how to effectively rebuild a country, a community and a family.
Zainab Salbi
It appears easier to talk about protecting women than it is to fully include women at all decision-making levels in peace talks and post-conflict planning.
Zainab Salbi
From an economic perspective, women are treated unfairly: they perform 66 percent of the world's work and produce 50 percent of the food but they only earn 10 percent of the income and own 1 percent of the property.
Zainab Salbi
I dont want to be someone in my sixties holding on to a group that I created when I was in my twenties.
Zainab Salbi
Long-term trauma for women who have survived armed conflict is a haunting reminder that health issues and depression can follow decades after the end of war, but women who hope for healing can and do move forward.
