Tawakkol Karman
"I want a future where my children feel safe and appreciated and proud to be who they are. My heart is one with all the Arab Spring heroes, no matter how small they think their role is. I know they believe, like me, that we are working for a world whereby an Arab can live with the other in a respectful and dignified way."

"تبيّن لي أن ارتداء الحجاب لا يتناسب مع المرأة التي ترغب في العمل بالنشاط المدني والمجال العام. فالناس بحاجة لأن يروكِ، ليتمكنوا من التآلف معكِ وإقامة صلةٍ بكِ. ولم يفرض ديني الحجاب، بل هو ممارسةٌ تقليدية، لذا نزعته."
