Michelle Bachelet Rights Quotations

The respect for human rights is nowadays not so much a matter of having international standards, but rather questions of compliance with those standards.

What is important is that we guarantee decent and dignified work to all Chileans ... what is important is that everybody has the same rights and the same opportunities.

In some places women have all the rights they deserve and in others there are big restrictions - in some countries they even mutilate women.

As a vibrant force in civil society, women continue to press for their rights, equal participation in decision-making, and the upholding of the principles of the revolution by the highest levels of leadership in Egypt.

Violence against women in all its forms is a human rights violation. It's not something that any culture, religion or tradition propagates.
