Women cannot be expected to struggle alone against the forces of discrimination and exploitation. I recall the words of Dante, who reminded us that “The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of moral crisis.” Today in this world, in the fight for the liberation of women, there can be no neutrality.

Benazir Bhutto in a 1995 speech in Beijing at the World Conference of Women. This is a beautiful speech, go read all of it.  (via thepoliticalnotebook)

She was one unapologetic, proud, progressive Pakistani and I respect her for it immensely.

About

Hola.
I believe that you leave pieces of your heart in and with those people and places that affect you the most, so that you're always a part of them and when you go back to them, you feel whole again.
Now, me, I've dropped 5 pieces of my heart. How many have you entrusted somewhere else?
