Here are some notable quotes by Michelle Bachelet, the former President of Chile and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights:
1. **On Human Rights:**
– ”Human rights are not only violated by terrorism, repression, or assassination, but also by unfair economic structures that create huge inequalities.”
2. **On Equality:**
– ”A better world is one where women are not only equal but also valued for their unique contributions to society.”
3. **On Leadership:**
– ”Leadership is not about command and control; it is about empowering others to achieve their potential.”
4. **On Gender Equality:**
– ”The presence of women in the public sphere is essential for a society that values justice and equality. Gender equality is not a women’s issue; it’s a human rights issue.”
5. **On Democracy:**
– ”Democracy and human rights are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Without one, the other cannot flourish.”
6. **On Personal Experience:**
– ”I was a victim of torture. And I know from personal experience how difficult it is to come back to life after that.”
These quotes reflect her deep commitment to human rights, gender equality, and social justice, themes that have been central to her career both in Chile and on the global stage.
