Quote by Abraham Lincoln

This is a world of compensation; and he who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.

This is a world of compensation; and he who would be no slav

Summary

This quote by Abraham Lincoln emphasizes the importance of maintaining equality and liberty. It suggests that in a world where compensation exists, where some individuals are subjected to servitude, one cannot expect to be free without acknowledging and opposing the existence of slavery. Those who deny the freedom and rights of others do not deserve it for themselves and, ultimately, cannot maintain it for long under the justice of a higher power. It highlights the fundamental principle that true freedom can only be achieved when it is extended to all individuals without discrimination.

U.N. Women was created due to the acknowledgement that gender equality and women's empowerment was still, despite progress, far from what it should be. Transforming political will and decisions, such as the Member States creating U.N. Women, into concrete steps towards gender equality and women's empowerment, I think is one of the main challenges.
