When I die, I hope my children will be proud of me as a woman who at least tried to change things, instead of just waiting for the dictator to die. - Stella Nyanzi

These women are working, no matter where they are placed within politics. They entered political participation with the heart of the masses, the heart of the people, with the will to work against oppression.

A lot of what I do is really related to my position in the world as a woman for whom a lot of things don't come easy. Public health services don't work, the education doesn't work for my children, we struggle a lot and that's why I do what I do.

I learnt that politics is a dish I love to eat… No one is going to make the world what I want to make it to be, unless I do it myself.
